the disgrace

With that common lump in my throat
i quivered and shivered, like a fainting goat
i could not speak for water would pour
it would fill the whole ocean up to the shores

my togune like rotten meat
incapable of speaking of anything sweet
cavernous foul room for a mouth
i will run away to the south

i hear things are better there
the grass greener there
nobody bothers you there
i can sleep there.

but for this moment i could not speak
nothing will spill, burst or leak
i am drowning, frozen in place
me, the disgrace

Dust

i am death i am dying
taking away your lungs
i hold you in suspense
waiting watching for a weak moment
where i can take your heart
your brain your stomach
i will take you away
everything you hold dear
your dog your father your mother
all to dust, dust and life everlasting
at least that's what they told me when i was a child
but inside i am still a child calling out for help
for attention, love me feed me clothe me
I am dying please help me
everyone dies alone
i am alone
i have seen no one die but my own
death dying life everlasting
lungs heart stomach
loved ones.
dust.
