Island of Calm

Mist like pus
The shuttle bus
That takes you back to Fobos boring in your neck
You’re such a total wreck
Snorting plane wakes
With your watery gaze
The swollen waves below won’t heal the pain
The taste of bitter bane
Soaking your brains
Island of Calm
You’re crawling on your puke
You’re swaying in the nude
The rush of slow-mo palms
Don’t notice being raped tonight
You won’t put up a fight
Cuz you’re defused
Island of Calm
The concrete’s warm tonight
Flashing thighs
Attract the flies
That swarm around the flickering stroboscopic pond
And pound their chest like Kong
Fighting planes
Assaulting Fay
Refusing no means no
They climb into your room
You’re such a total wreck
Chorus

Mother Mars

Accept my heart
Oh Mother Mars
The cavern yawns
Pregnant with dreams yet to be spawned
I spit red ocher on my palm
And sink my arm
Into the brood to heal the scar
Playing hide and seek
The curtain revealing my feet
She winces and covers her ears
Wishing I’d disappear
Silence cyanide
Chilly December
The time of the frozen lullabies
Bile-corroded and snide
Remarks in the embers
The time when our words turned to ice
I rub the rock against my wounds
As I descend into the womb
The scent of Mother’s skin and perspiration
Her lips teeming with bees buzzing “My darling”
Chorus
The bubble town
Where larvae drown
She shouts
Olly, olly, oxen free
I numbly creep out of the hive
And leave my hatred skin behind
You know I buried her body in shallow ground
Before I fled the blazing den
I reach out kicking up my legs
As Mother’s features twist and swarm
To mirror mine
Until I’m stillborn
Playing hide and seek
The curtain revealing my feet
She winces and covers her ears
Wishing I’d disappear
Chorus
