Lyrics:

Scoliosis Backbrace

Life swallowed enough of these years to match the angle of my spine. Ill-spoken, but lest we forget, I’m half-bent and close to caving in.

“You are worthless. You are scum,” you said.

Why do I still wake up?



Corpse Medicine

Outside/other/apart, you draw yourself in a silence that traces weariness on the outlines of your tired face; in the absence of speech and wills that soon break.

Wounds once stitched in light and shadow open up to spell your shame in blood and marrow; at once outside, othered, and parting as spirits do from their lingering corpses.

You will soon settle in the ache of injuries that cease to convalesce; abandoning all warmth, all care, and comfort. This is your life and you’re worse than dead to me. Don’t pretend this is alright.

I'm left outside, othered, and apart.



Double Tuck

"Each time I call to you, seasons echo back in full; names written in trails, and returning as loving truths."



Velvet Thunder

Breathing hums seismic beneath the surrogate cradle and its familiar tongues unravel in the yearning of the north. Culled from the ends of unlived futures, they shattered to birth clouds

Articulate, if subvocal, avalanches trail on hushed. Prismatic veils enshrined love’s immediate brokenness as we devolved into vestiges once vital, now merely mourned.

Lust in the confusion of you, all words become vapor.
