great ghosts forgotten
picking fights with the moss and lichen
i like to think
that the dead are wise
but they are probably just dead
still i feel the stones
etched in the night
i took some rubbish photos of you
sitting pretty in the moon-
like a phantom, like a chain
like a lantern in a cave
i felt funny about it all
i felt so awful and small
the road gives out
to the dark lake beneath
diving in
swimming deep
one cold glance behind
and you shrink just of view
i look in the mirror and i-
i'm shrinking too

i feel it in your voice
and all girls you follow
on your message boards
self assured
i am falling
empty too
"he's not your friend, he's just hungry"
"i know," i swallow
"you silly thing, you're in his dream"
"i know," i think. i wake up
chaser!
chaser!
chaser!

one shallow breath
whistles through my chest
defined by gore
flayed petals all bloodied thorns
spilling out
my inside is my outside
the roots crawl deep
and yet
decay and live again
decay and live again
decay and live again
decay
decay and live again
decay and live again
but live

no more snakes, no apple choking
by the river, gentle flowing
through the reeds to the petal sound
your mountain and my mouth
how our garden sings
the thought this birdsong brings
dance dance with the pretty people
pulling apart our tired skin
stitched together with the birds and beetles
the tower we built, all the thorns and wings
there's so much everyone in everyone
so much everyone in everyone
so much everyone in everyone
slurs written on a bathroom wall
i think "yeah that's me haha" lying sprawled
by the fountain coughing semen
my faggot lung meets the air of eden
so much everyone in everyone
so much everyone in everyone
so much everyone in everyone
our buildings in pink and blue
like flowers, i think of you
the fucking, the songs we sing
there's so much everything in everything
so much everyone in everyone
so much everyone in everyone

you're two wheels on fire
you're two wheels on fire
you're an axe and a flail
you're one big fucking hammer
you're two years in business
you're a sword piercing secrets
you're a bandana over a face mask
you're with your boss on christmas
you're a friend
you're a friend i don't have
you are two wheels
you are a hot crash

breathless
you smile like a manta ray
under moonlight
your blood flows along the waves
the seabreeze
salt beats beyond the flesh
like an ivory orchard
your ribs spread along your chest
hold me still
i wanted to love you
my heart begs
for the ocean
you lift your head
i touch you
fall apart

don't look to the light
too terrible to behold
there is a god in this marble
how am i supposed to go on?
working for no one
standing guard
as if this portakabin
could withstand the hell we all
go wandering through
this life is like a mountain
(no it isn't)
this life is like a tape
you can buy on my website

i remember meeting lauren
i remember meeting ivy
i remember meeting amy, then tara
i remember the first show i saw here
and war pigs in the lecture hall
play that champagne supernova solo again
i'll kill you
all in the wrong order
i remember cleaning up glass
smashing it too
no good mornings
and a reading of this tao lin poem
bring me my wine
i left myself in the river
i left myself in the river
i'm in a good place
i'm thinking of a colour
i'm thinking of the nice things
in the river

Valley of Christ

there's earth in your hair
and under your nail
all along the blood river
and the raft you sail
it swells
strung through this harp
this Tunnel of Love
the swan void in our hearts
curling up
"i think i'm a girl"
(i think i'm a child)
"flowering," i smile
hand on my chest
hand on my skirt
spread eagle
move my mouth with your words
[i fall in
they fall in too]
