burn
birdmad the fevered touch

the sun staring down on the desert
heaven's burning eye.
(what do you see? what do you see?)

scorpions crawling on scorched earth
the green of spring burned brittle yellow, dessicated.

wildflower
fire hazard
tumbleweed
flesh and desire and faith and disease

the shimmering blacktop mirages
the cat's-eye crescent moon a silver afterthought in the bright afternoon sky

the memory of touching an ice cube to the back of your neck and watching you jump

on a day like today.

unhinged we burned a block from the police station. it was almost 8pm on a friday night and there was no one on the streets. poor y_town. i can't hate living here anymore. i just feel bad. they say this used to be a thriving community. everywhere you walk you can see the city's tears. 010428

misstree burn, baby, burn.

let the flames consume and wound
so you can heal,
and burn as bright and hard and mean as you can, with every fiber, every cell,
and afterwards, you can rest...

but first,
burn, baby, burn.

realizations and memories and lack of clarity
through it all I keep burning
