How many nights have I dreamt
Of holding you in my arms?
Keeping you safe and loved,
Comforting you.
How many nights have I dreamt
Of seeing your smile?
Your eyes a cloudy mystery to me
But the curve of your mouth
Real and true.
I thought maybe I had you for the briefest of days.
I thought I was learning the shape of your eyes
And the weight of your hand in mine.
But I'll go back to dreaming.
I'll keep dreaming of you each night.

i don't want to
want her anymore.
i am tired of
breaking my own heart.
i spend all of my days
wishing she was mine
and all of my nights
hoping she never finds out.
i guess this is my curse;
unrequited love,
unreciprocated desire.
it consumes me whole.
it always has.
i am nothing if not a fool.
-mars

Dog
like a dog
I lie by my lover
bringing bones for the last thing
that gives eye for eye
together we live full
family and friends
belonging to trust
to be ever bleeding hearts
but ferocious
when the Hunters
bring us to bear

A short comic I made about my experiences as a seasonal worker, and the way places change you.

You thought you found the thing, I said out loud to the garbage cans, the vaguely threatening spikes of the fence guarding the park, the elderly man at the end of his millionth cigarette.
You thought you had found the thing that was going to keep you alive, I continued, waving my cigarette around as I spoke.
The girl you had been waiting to meet your entire life. The crystal to your ball. The one who knew the way you grooved, who understood the world as you knew it, saw the fissions in the skyline, watched the sun dribble down like a belly dancer with her foreign diamonds, tasted the same heat, heard orchestras in building demolitions, the melodies in a cup of black coffee as you weep in the living room, hungover and sweating you are done with the beast. But going back and back like a wounded dog. And she wanted the same things. To be taken by a UFO at the end of a long summer day; the wheat standing still in the cool night. She wanted an easy exit. She wanted to be anybody else. She wanted to dream as you wanted to dream. She shared the same language, the tones of people trapped in a burning room.
And you had her; for a year, you were in the same room, I said, speaking to the trees.
Licking the same piece of licorice, falling into the same wondrous and terrible sleep. Sometimes too altered to speak. Not needing to speak. You shot her up on Christmas Eve, her face glistening with hushed pinks from the lights you convinced her to get. You wore her panties around the house. Filled a plastic kiddie pool with water from the hose and waved, handed out lollipops to the kids next door and to whoever you saw. Opioid receptors. Movies you would forget you watched. Fights over a gram. Slow dancing in the kitchen to Sinatra records, kissing her exactly where she wanted to be kissed. Staying together on the couch, watching the world pass through you.
We never wanted that world, she said one evening as the newscast told us about terrorism, wars. We never wanted that stupid world.
There’s no room for us, I said and held her close.
You wanted to be an eyelash on her face. She was petroleum. She was cake. She taught you how to use a needle. You had figured out a way to live. And could see yourself living in the trailer park for years to come.
And eventually you and her would kick the habit.
This was a secret desire. A week of atomic bombs and shallow waters. But you would get clean and meet her parents. There would be large thanksgiving dinners, happiness.
And when she ended things, you bought a gun. But you were rushed to the clinic before you could smear yourself out of existence. You mourn her at night. You smell her milk. You hope she is in a field, watching the light lounge over the grass. You hope she is alive. You hope she wants to be. As for yourself, the bomb could go off and you would light another cigarette, watching the fallout blot the sunlight with a famed nonchalance. And as the fire reached you, you would picture her in your mind. The only miracle you’ve known.

I was thinking about all the soft, gentle moments in life, and how beautiful they are.
