i_smell_you_on_my_skin
somebody I WALK IN
I SEE YOU
I WATCH YOU
I SCAN YOU
I WAIT FOR YOU
I TICKLE YOU
I TEASE YOU
I SEARCH YOU
I BREATHE YOU
I TALK
I SMILE
I TOUCH YOUR HAIR
YOU ARE THE ONE
YOU ARE THE ONE
WHO DID THIS TO ME
YOU ARE MY OWN
I SHOW YOU
I FEEL YOU
I ASK YOU
I DON'T ASK
I DON'T WAIT
I WON'T ASK YOU
I CAN'T TELL YOU
I LIE

I AM CRYING HARD
THERE WAS BLOOD
NO ONE TOLD ME
NO ONE KNEW
MY MOTHER KNOWS

I FORGET YOUR NANE
I DON'T THINK
I BURY MY HEAD
I BURY YOUR HEAD
I BURY YOU

MY FEVER
MY SKIN
I CANNOT BREATHE
I CANNOT EAT
I CANNOT WALK
I AM LOSING TIME
I AM LOSING GROUND
I CANNOT STAND IT

I CRY
I CRY OUT
I BITE
I BITE YOUR LIP
I BREATHE YOUR BREATH
I PULSE
I PRAY
I PRAY ALOUD
I SMELL YOU ON MY SKIN

I SAY THE WORD
I SAY YOUR NAME
I COVER YOU
I SHELTER YOU
I RUN FROM YOU
I SLEEP BESIDE YOU
I SMELL YOU ON MY CLOTHES
I KEEP YOUR CLOTHES


Je viens
Je te vois
Je te dévisage
Je t'explore
Je t'attends
Je t'excite
Je t'attise
Je te cherche
Je te respire
Je parle
Je souris
Je caresse tes cheveux
C'est toi
C'est toi
qui m'a fait ça
Tu es à moi
Je t'expose
Je te sens
Je te demande
Je te demande rien
Je n'attends rien
Je ne te demanderai rien
Je ne peux rien te dire
Je mens

Je pleure à sanglots
Il y eut du sang
On ne m'a rien dit
On ne savait pas
Ma mère sait

J'oublie ton nom
Je ne pense à rien
J'enfouis mon front
J'enfouis le tien
Je t'enterre

Ma fièvre
Ma peau
Je ne respire plus
Je ne mange plus
Je ne marche plus
Je perds le temps
Je perds l'espace
Je ne tiens plus

Je crie
Je m'écrie
Je mords
Je mords tes lèvres
J'inspire ton souffle
Je vibre
Je prie
J'implore
Je te sens sur ma peau

Je dis le nom
Je dit ton nom
Je t'abrite
Je te protège
Je t'échappe
Je dors contre toi
Je te sens sur mes vêtements
Je garde les tiens

somebody the most
profound
things are
inexpressible

war

burned all over so only his teeth are good, he sits fused to the
tank. metal holds the blast heat and the sun. his death is
fresh and the smell pleasant. he must be pulled away skin
splitting. he is a suggestion that affects people differently.
the ocean washes the dead. they are face up face down in foam.
bodies roll from swells to open in the marsh.
his neck strains and pivots. he bites in a circle around him. he
cannot raise his arms because he is packed in men. the thing that
is all of them begins to scream.
it is the war zoo. it is a landmark. pilots name it. the animal is
folded in the landscape. a bone is broken so it cannot move
away. instinct makes it watchful. it expects that someone will
touch it to restore the pact.
the shape in the blanket is stupid. a torso remains. the mother
recalls a child␙s logical and adequate shadow. she runs her hand
over and rejects the flesh.

inflammatory essays
destroy superabundance. starve the
flesh, shave the hair, expose the bone,
clarify the mind, define the will,
restrain the senses, leave the family,
flee the church, kill the vermin,
vomit the heart, forget the dead.
limit time, forgo amusement, deny
nature, reject acquaintance,
discard objects, forget truths,
dissect myth, stop motion, block
impulse, choke sobs, swallow chatter.
scorn joy, scorn touch, scorn
tragedy, scorn liberty, scorn
constancy, scorn hope, scorn
exaltation, scorn reproduction,
scorn variety, scorn embellishment,
scorn release, scorn rest, scorn
sweetness, scorn the light. it is a
question of form and function. it is
a matter of revulsion.
don␙t talk down to me.
don␙t be polite to me. don␙t
try to make me feel nice.
don␙t relax. i␙ll cut the
smile off your face. you
think i don␙t know what␙s
going on. you think i␙m
afraid to react. the joke␙s
on you. i␙m biding my time,
looking for the spot. you
think no one can reach
you, no one can have what
you have. i␙ve been planning
while you␙re playing. i␙ve
been saving while you␙re
spending. the game is almost
over so it␙s time you
acknowledge me. do you
want to fall not ever
knowing who took you?

shriek when the pain hits
during interrogation. reach
into the dark ages to find a
sound that is liquid horror, a
sound of the brink where man
stops and the beast and
nameless cruel forces begin.
scream when your life is
threatened. form a noise so
true that your tormentor
recognizes it as a voice that
lives in his own throat. the
true sound tells him that he
cuts his flesh when he cuts
yours, that he cannot thrive
after he tortures you. scream
that he destroys all the
kindness in you and blackens
every vision you could have
shown him.

unhinged when we met up again
for the first_time
you were wearing your nag_champa


and the memories
of my bed being saturated with that smell
even after you were gone
pricked me



when you asked me
what my smell was
because you could smell it
even after i was gone




smell can be the most powerful for me
sometimes

birdmad even now...
faint scent of apple blossoms from your shampoo, trace of Marlboro smoke and just the slightest hints of the sort of clean sweat that beads on your forehead on the first hot day of the year.
