it is not cold nor barren herei. twenty years and a lifetime ago i sat on the edge of a pier and scraped my fingernails into warped wooden planks and let the guppies and piranhas lick at my feet. behind me was a man with a bowler hat and too many hiccups; he was bloated and blue and very dead, and his lips were white and cracked where his tongue followed paths like those the dragonflies created in every buzzing freefall. he told me the meaning of life, told me why gerbils sometimes eat their offspring and why the world sagged with the weight of itself, but all i heard was the water bubble from his lips, thick and muddy from deep in his lungs.

symptoms of brain wormsThis is a love story.   
-   
He's never dreamed of anything more than the simple things he knows he can achieve. He's not a talker. In his spare time he goes through all of his coffee mugs, searching for fractures in the porcelain. He hates imperfection, asymmetry, broken things. He also hates even numbers and he doesn't care if that's weird. He waits for his coffee to go cold before he drinks it. He is ticklish behind his left knee but not his right and it makes her laugh over his discomfort. He has big hands and calloused palms and he doesn't like to let her hold them. She asked him to build a pond in the yard, just muc symptoms of brain worms

terra firmaI am sitting in a lawn chair,  
and he--what?--oh, yes, him,  the young man, he's sweating through his t-shirt,  damp up the long hollow of his spine,  hacking away at my garden. His fists curl  like talons around clusters of untamed grass.  He grunts, knees muddy, sinking into the earth,  
and I sit still, wide-eyed and silent, and I see --  sun-flushed face and squinting eyes,  flash of yellow teeth –-   
She is making shrill noises into my garden hose.  I don’t know her name, but. Her unnaturally thin lips,  curled around the nozzle, pressed white from the  pre terra firma

The Only Person In The Poetry+   
isn't you.  He actually has light hair, which moves  across his throat like a scythe.  I find myself a little  
frightened of this.  I begin to assume that the  
reason that there is no one else in the poetry  
section is not because poetry is out of fashion  
or that it is no longer necessary, but because of  
 
this man with his long arms wrapped around a  
vague, sad book.  It also makes me think of you,  
who would never be caught dead in the poetry  
section of a bookstore.  You, more likely to be

paper cranes and picket fencesi am folding you one thousand paper cranes because it is all we have left.   
legend says that if i fold one thousand paper cranes, i will get a wish. i could wish for a pair of iridescent wings or an ocean in a teacup or just to finally be happy again, but i don't want any of that--with every crane i fold i am imagining you. one crane for the circles under your eyes, one crane for your jutting ribs, one crane for every seizure.   
i love you and you're dying and i will run out of paper trying to fold your broken pieces into birds.

you drew me a picture of us in the future.  our houses were paper cranes and picket fences

the things we'll never say.1.  snakes crawl out of my mouth,  hands like sleep waiting silently  for me to give into them.   
i toss words like rocks  across my tongue, skipping  across the lake, and we reach,  hands outstretched, for the sun   
but it's a shame it's all empty.   
 
2.  listen, if you loved me, you  wouldn't try to fix me.  
if you loved me, you'd paint  butterflies across the wall  to make me smile. listen,   
if you loved me, you'd give  me handrails to hold onto  on the way down. you'd tell me  that right now, i'm a caterpillar  (b the things we'll never say.

One of these days..

Fri Nov 6, 2009, 2:10 PM
my entry won't be about bitching over something or other or about nothing at all. But for today I warn and welcome you to the entry of a flustered WHY CAN'T I WRITE ANYTHING ANYMORE EVER WHAT IS THIS.

I'm in Boston for the weekend and I see little things everywhere that inspire something somewhere, little flickers of things that make me look twice and go "huh," but I can't.... formulate. That's not to say previous writings had been created and crafted with care and planning... and that's not to say I even know what BIG WURDZ LIEK "formulate" and "planning" mean, since they are so far from the Dictionary of Words Kayla Knows Anything About. BUT. It's there, but it's not THERE. WTH, IKNORITE?

Aaaaaanyway, there are many lovely things here, and manymany strange and frightening-in-the-best-way people, but nothing is sparked from that except little grunted thoughts like "Daa...huh. How neat."

So. I LAAAMENT OVER THIS, NONEXISTANTREADERS/MYSELF-WHO-IS-THE-ONLY-PERSON-I-WRITE-THESE-RITUALISTIC-BITCHINGS-TO.

For now, though, I will continue to observe stealthily and creepily for the remainder of my time here, since my loner soul calls for it. I just wish that creepy soul would saunter up to Mr. Muse and be like, "SUP REMEMBER THE COOL SHIT WE USED TO DO TOGETHER I MISS IT YO." Sigh.
