Pit Of The Heart

Pit Of The Heart

1 min
106


On Wednesdays

Words sit on my tongue

Like antidepressants

They keep forcing down my throat

Twenty days a month

With a milkshake (flavor: guilt)


I cough three words at a time

And search them on google.

Does crying make you pee frequently?

Can human brains explode

from simultaneous flame and frost?

Insanity may not be futile after all.


Flowers climb up the strands of my hair

The way Romeo climbed Juliet's window 

Only these do not profess love to me

But are craters of feeling split in half


My eyes are the perennial source of a burning pyre

A cemetery of memories plotting cosmic conspiracies

A hammer being dragged between my lungs.


I've spent nights wiping tears

On pitted mountains

Of quick conclusions,

Replaced teeth with board pins

And fastened my lips

With the lapel kind,

Choked 4ams

With polaroids from back in time.


I'm heels pressed against the wall

To prevent hell from breaking loose

I'm claustrophobia cartoned in

With a chilled latte

I'll ask you to

Bury my soul in yours

Gift my brain to Homer

My heart to Bukowski

And settle for nothing less.
