SkippingI'm sat in the tick of the nightSkipping by ~Existence-is-Futile
but it's light tocking by
from the street light
in the corner of my eye/
It's late and I'm thinking
I should sing
or just whistle

and just listen to the skittle
of the rain on the pavement/
The rain that's behaving so wierd

I shiver in the cold/
I sit and I scratch at my skin
it's itching
like the thoughts in my head on repeat

in body or spirit-
of which, we're not sure-
rolls over with a quiet murmer,
whispers sweet vanilla lyrics
and droops back,
still humming forgotten memories
cradle us
til born anew
they say.
ice hot screws throw out a bellowing din
groaning and building
rolling through the belly
of a beast that chokes and spits,
smooth white shattered with blue and silver spears,
flecked with licks of fire.
lurching over, we peer in waiting

2I never wanted2 by ~Existence-is-Futile
many things, in fact:
the spark from flesh,
dead batteries
I never wished for that.
the piercing glare
through transparent bones
and the skin wandering
valleys they know more than I should.
prayers of gritted teeth
never to need.
stringing ears with silk and rosary
and numbers drawing stories
teeth and bone
and eyes
breath
scars
scarred
scarred
scarred.
