HEISS
Tissue
There’s these loins that lay loose
In our palm: like a paintbrush
They grew from seeds near the farm-house
the one over there, with the lights out
I draw my .357 magnum on her skin the way Ginsberg moved to Jazz
She digs the blade into my spine the way Kurt played his Strat
it’s a “write what you know
eat what you kill
kiss who you love
create what you feel” type of western narcotic deal with less strings attached
you keep my vocal chords warm when i’m drinking
i’m convinced you fuel Paris.
Greenhouse
Overdue blues, Undershot greys
muted sun rays
Only a leg
In the Frame
​
Big venus fly traps
Full up, All full
Leaving the red alone
Leaving it be
​
Towel layed,
away in the shoots
Some drenched plantasia
blown around the roots
Then over there,
these growing petals
Flowering around the sarcophagus.
Cameras
The Car, A friend
Driving around the bend
Treading on trenches, with a marker pen
Reaching with greed
pockets stuffed with wrappers
all of the time
Under the cameras
Leaving Town
portions of this evening
swing slightly with a subtle waltz
its a free thing, with a smokey scent
i told you i’m no wolf
playing gun-fights in the surroundings fields
like “wheat chewing texans”
these fields that have been open walls
seemingly rise high around this house
they stack up above the blinds
until the mute blue is shut out
but if you love this little room, if you love it’s little sounds
between the bed and your bookcase
like Kerouac, we can get around
hitchhiking from the corner of the duvet
to the foot of the door
palms in the ground
i promise you
i’ll huff and i’ll puff
and i’ll blow this house down
only remnants
Who's living in your phone now?
How's it all running 'round?
Last Time was the last time
You Know, So what?
​
Can i go again?
From somewhere 'round there
​
I'm living in the end of us
Every day, around and around
I asked her "turn and face us"
All thats left is rust
​
Is it time to leave again?
Can i stay here for a while
​
If i could do it all over
I'd stumble up to you
Wipe all the memories away
Just to introduce myself
​
and go again,
from there
