Eraser

Block of flesh scraping against the paper

Grasping helplessly at my mistakes

Bleeding over the page and through layers

Simple product of capillarity,

Losing the light in a sea of fiber

Ripping off feathers to drench them in ink

Blood dripping down my quill

Gliding onto the air like a dance

Drawing my story as I twirl,

Twists and turns til I fall and crash

Break my bones on the cold hard floor

Collect my scattered pieces in a jar

As I clench my fist over the discarded charges,

Scraps of eraser.

Champagne

New Year's Eve, celebrations

Family gatherings,

Bubbly laughs

From another world

The glasses ring,

I shatter.

The shouts and the screams,

Dreams and tears,

Burst through my mind,

Breaking me down

Cowering in a corner of my conscience,

I lie

Look up at the ceiling and cry

Drowning my thoughts and sobs

In a broken cup

And a broken mind.

Ribbon

A ribbon tied in my hair

Taming my curls and wrapping my head

A ribbon tied around my neck

Tighter and tighter, until night falls

A ribbon tied around my waist

Pretty gifts to offer the world

Cinching at the ribs

And blue veins apparent

Subway map of liquids,

Salty and metallic

Tasting of 1-octen-3-one

Volcano of chemicals and smells of sulfur

Rotten fabric and fleshy blob

Leaking of mucus and sticky mess

Wrapping paper to hide

The hideous truth and blood-shot eyes

Of a ribbon ridden lie

Skyline

Single drop of fire in the sky

As my tears pierce through the line

Rope of light dragged by a flaming chariot

Burnt and freezing corpse

Dangling in the weightless night

I look at the blazing thread

And tie myself to the limit

Jump into the sky

And rip through the border

Falling endlessly through time

Night and day burned to ashes

Gray rain, gray air,

Freezing debris swirling in dimensions

Parallel universes and colliding worlds

Here I am

Longing body left to rot in the chaos

In the eye of the hurricane,

All is still.

Scribble

Black cloud on paper

Ink tears on cloth

Dark scars on wood

Scrambled mind,

Hiding my mistakes

Under a pool of darkness.

Under the sky

Lies a blanket

Blanket of lies

And deception

Shadows of doubt and

Self hatred

Shattered mirrors

Broken glass

Lines of blood

This ancient ritual

Rises again.

Under the moon

Shines a lake

White as a pearl

Deep as my mind

Into the lake

I drown.

Grassblade

I run my fingers through the grass

Rolling around the meadows until

I feel a sharp tug :

Blood trickling down my finger,

Dripping on the soil and sinking

Through the roots and the veins

And raised to the sky

Drops leaking out onto my arm

River of blood exposed

Rushing against the current

Until everything stops

Lying on the grass in a puddle

Red mud coating my legs

And my chest and my throat

Until only my eyes are left

Blink one, blink twice

And night falls, I empty my lungs

Suddenly I can feel myself sinking

Deeper and deeper, til my back touches dirt

And I see flowers following me in

Bouquets of blades and spikes

Ancient Greece

Walls crumbling

And tears running

Shattering bones and

Chattering teeth

Old and forgotten and

Miserable, left alone

Eyes searching and hands brushing

Delicate like a feather, careful not to

Disturb me, no hands to pull me up

But smiles and amazement,

And tears shed, not for me

For the bystanders and the sightseers

Life circling back and forth

While I lay there, unmoving,

Stuck in my past screams

And lungs ripping apart

Unable to move or close my eyes

Forced to relive those fragments

Trapped in the middle

Between past and future

Dreams and reality

Over and over

And over and over and over

Poppy

There is a single poppy growing on my grave

No one knows who sow the seed

Or who watered it through the years

No one but God, vicious buzzing of the future

Always looking, privacy an illusion

And sends angels to scare the damned souls away

Alone in my grave I hide

Splatter my tears and blood and watch

The petals unfold, in all their beauty

I hear footsteps and sobs, condolences and silence

But I never hear my name, sweet call

Screaming to the world I can’t be forgotten

I close my eyes as I hear shouts and thuds

Loud concrete noises crashing on my box

And I can see their contortioned faces

As the poppy flies away

Winter

Cristallized tears surround me

As I carve out an angel

Heart frozen in place

An icicle stands in my chest

Ice versus ice

Only the sun can decide

I keep my head above the water

As I see the iceberg approaching

The tip is small so I dive

And the monument swallows me whole

I can’t move so I think

Snowball fights and hot cocoa

Warm hugs and cold petals

Tears streaming down my ice-cold cheeks

As I feel the warmth melt my heart

Leaving me with faded thoughts and a salty face

And at my feet, a lukewarm puddle

Red pond, so dark it draws me in

Until I gasp, scream and sink

Grabbing strands of hair to pull me up

An infinite ladder of pain, so thin

When I reach the surface

I can see them cry over my lifeless body

More salt to thicken my blood

Until it’s solid like concrete

Suffocating in tears and blood

That’s how I’m forgotten

That Torn Paper Told Me To Forget It

You can't remember how you were as a kid

You don't know if you're any different

You can't remember your favourite flavor

Or that one story that got you to sleep

You don't remember being told stories

You remember how the storybook looked like

But not what the pages told

You know it should go like this:

"Once upon a time, there was sunshine and warmth and laughter and love and light

In a realm of refuge

In the way the pixels moved

And the figurines played

In the creativity of a mind longing for sleep-

A child longing for sleep

And you do not remember the light ever shining outside the realm

You remember the darkness of the room you were trapped in, forced to learn your multiplication tables

You do not remember your multiplication tables

In fact, you never truly learned them

You do not remember the punishment or the teacher screaming at you

You assume it happened because it always does

You do not remember the daydream you dreamt in that room

You assume there was one because there is always one

You remember tearing the page apart bit by bit

Fuel for forever lasting stories

Forever staying in the same child's mind

Forever forgotten

You remember your parents printing you a new paper

After math

The aftermath after a math class

The tiny army leaving the tinier room

A regiment of strangers with a general of answers

Marching chaotically in diverse directions

One of them- if there ever is individuality

In this disbanded Xth grade army-

One of them is a number

One of them climbs up the squared stairs

And multiplies the steps

"One of them is a name and a lack thereof"

One of them thinks as they check the time

If they go up and down,

Would they make it to next class?

With d steps per second,

A distance of e meters until they reach the top,

And a minutes of break,

They think they'll make it with only t minutes of tardiness

And spring up the rest of the ladder

Out in recess, where wars cease

And enemies breathe

A drop is heard, the hth one this week

Stair fall

The elevator is out of service, I have to take the stairs

Trembling in each step, broken knees

And broken pleas, "not a big deal"

Say those who don't need that

Elevator, that cursed savior,

The stairs are much less fair

Rough and tough-edged

Sharp, rocky, concrete planks

Slow, stumbly; I hate the stairs

I will walk up and stumble

I will fall

An underground and four floors

A stop, then two more

Such shall be the height of my fall

Letters, dragged down with me, flow all together, all over

A bee sees from the ground

Day sky covered in black, dark mark from the heavens

Cast out and voided

The bee moves on

God laughs at the fall

Kettle

A whimper from the metal

A cry of steam hurling through the air

Through the room and through the walls

Until a scuffle is heard

And a relieved sigh as the heat dies down

Drips through atoms and emptiness

To hug paper and leaves

Finally free, the river rejoices

As the air steals its warmth

And the cup overflows

Here I stand, alive among corpses

Watching my world turn red

With the blood of my friends

And I long for their freedom

As honey coats me and leaves

Me and the and the bloody taste on my tongue

On the cold, hard plank

Shade

A stroke of the pencil

A brush on the paper

Light as a feather

And soft as a tear

The light-kissed side

And its shadow

That's where I hide

Staining the paper

With my existence

Ashes mixed with blood

Ink to tear through a page

Burns searing through skin

Blood seeping through cloth

That's where I hide

Weave

I reach for the sky and pray

To the Fates that weave my fate

Long flowy strings that float

Cut through the air like blades

Droplets of blood drip from their palms

Turned upwards to the clouds

Bloody clouds, filled to the brim

Until they burst, flood my mind

As I untangle strands of hair

My fingers, trapped in the endless struggle

Til they rip and cup my ears

Cuts dripping into the carpet

Delayed with salty rivers and

Ocean of screams.

I braid my hands and I pray

To the Fates that weave my hair

Consciousness

I close my eyes and think

I could never open them again

The darkness surrounds me like a blanket

Warm, fuzzy, inciting me to sleep

And never wake up again

I let go and drift endlessly

On the river of my conscience

Riding out the waves until I reach

A still lake of calm

Breathe in, breathe out and

Stop, fall at the bottom of the water

Empty my lungs and drop

Relax and sleep

Never-ending dream pulling me in

Never-ending hug keeping me warm

Love to drown out the noise

Lie

I lie on the ground and wait

For Death's carriage to take me away

For the blood in my veins to finally stop

For your words to bleed out

Of my ears, my eyes, my mouth

Your lies and I, your eyes and I

And my mind in awe

Of your sighs and lies

Oh, why can't I die

And escape my past, erase

My mistakes and my mind

I close my eyes and let

The white noise beat me dead
