Sunspots
In through the open pane,
And spit forth to the ground,
A shape shift is boldly stamped,
Swaying backwards in delight.
I come about creeping slowly,
To lay my body on it’s plane,
The carpet pattern’s mountains,
Pressed closely to my cheek.
Time pulls the spot like a bed sheet,
Out from underneath my bones,
Then up a little wall it goes,
Silently staring back.
“Don’t leave me cold and bare,” I say.
But it mustn’t have heard me.
Because all the trace of it is gone,
Only the essence floats so lightly.
The sun bulb is turned off again,
And the fear comes back in waves.
Too many thoughtful days are spent,
Longing for fresher and newer ones.
I am mine.
Morrissey fever like no other today. I am thinking about my life and how it can feel really dull sometimes, so I should have seen this coming.

It’s odd when objects look alien for a few seconds. It’s been happening to me a lot lately. I picked up a banana the other day and the fact that it was a banana didn’t register for a few moments. Also with people and all the emotions and characteristics that run through them. I looked at a photo of a girl today and felt like a lot of the things people care about in their lives, or her for that matter, weren’t important at all. That we all care about worthless matters sometimes, in the bigger scheme that is.
A Spark
A spark,
A mast,
Raised,
A ripple,
Stretched,
A fog,
Melting through,
The dirt,
Yells,
It pulses.
We pulse.
“
Dance toward me, please, as
if you were a star
with light-years piled
on top of your hair,
smiling,
and I will dance toward you
as if I were darkness
with bats piled like a hat
on top of my head.

The Dentist
I’ve always had horrible experiences with dentists. The last time my vision went double for a few hours, and I almost threw up 3 times during. And that was for a filling… Today, about 30 minutes from now, I am getting a tooth pulled, which shouldn’t be a problem seeing as my mouth is apparently small, and wisdom teeth impacted. Maybe my mouth won’t feel as cramped. Regardless, I will be drowsy and in pain. And horrified before and probably during.
I will hope that his demeanor is completely opposite of the one in Little Shop of Horrors.
Sigh.
