Over, Time, Again, you worked overtime again and you never made it back home over time again you worked overtime again and you never made it back home and you're driving in yr car that I didn't even know you had thinking about bed but yr phones keep ringing over that and yr wheels keep sliding new ways so you can preserve yr old ones everything grinds you old s-n I've never seen you dance but that was okay cuz you dunked but now that you can't dunk what is the new complete? hunh mama said you changed writhed deformed under her chains and the only thing that remained is that smile which now belongs to me, now! over time again you worked overtime again you never coming back home and there was always a new ring each one as sweet as the last so there coulda always been a new s-n each one more warped than the last so that's why we weren't surprised when yr rims slid off the road unsurprised yet unprepared when it was yr time to ggggggggg and mama said you'd changed but she couldn't save you this time you wouldn't let her lock yr doors so let go let Gah it's fine it was approaching dusk moon and sun both in the sky when you nodded in the light you were just so tired everything came close a slow motion collide the wheel slid in yr handz the road began to vibe when you opened yr eyes you nodded in the light

the stalks and clay on yr hooves the river mimics your moves you are beside it you are inside it you are in flight above it "I can see, I am free" the sky flinches at your the clouds open for your the rain races down your tusks she is a dragonfly caught in your eyes she kisses a collar for you and traces your lines "(what time of day is it?)"

heartbeat 05:07
you let her ride you ---"in search of my [father's] garden, i found my own"--- crepescular you're in her arms while the stripes fade fast while the ground races past far below you kiss back while your eyes roll around your head your muscles tremble during quiet soft intimacy your insides burn like yr s-n and you are twitching she sees she spreads wings and she careeses spine "it'll be just fine" if you let it but you won't your tusks are long now and so you go foraging the tree branches reach out trying to hold you still you cave your skull in pretend that there is nothing real you turn the lights off and let your soul begin to peel there is no myth now you are no boar no more you're just a man now bathing/drinking in sores she sees the corpse now you are no myth no more not just man now but a disgusting one you let your hole beat heart and no arc can save you how long can you kiss back or how long can you hold your breath for how long did you kiss back for? how long did you hold your breath for? you'd rather heart beat faster than deeper you're deeper inside her

You wake up in the stomach of the woman you love with a cut from yr fall gushing blood out yr neck and the more panicked you is the more infected it gets and from your imprint on the pink ground come hands and arms shooting out sick, Thriller shit shifting soft flesh in their ascension, adolescent undead and they all look pissed the youngest one steps forward, pulls the dick out his mouth says "...how badly do you wanna get out" you say "you know I love your mother" he points to your foot prints: sulphurized craters and says "where have you been" you'onknow the last time someone asked you that but you know you don't like it so you attack with the power of silence and the more you stay quiet the more a flame builds at the base of the kids you wheel around there's a dinner table set a few yards from a chainsaw and as their bodies get more decayed in the heat the undead slap a beat stomping on the belly meat shuffle lil somethin like: "BOOM BOOM CLAP BOOM B-BOOM BOOM CLAP WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN AND WHAT DID YOU BRING BACK" you glance at the food then rear up the saw jerk the cord thrice and the blades come to life like zzzzxxxxxzzxxxxzxxzxxzxxzxz you cut your way out of the cave this cage and with each layer cut away you hear not a shriek but a soft long cry humming from the sky and part of you feels so bad buttttt not that bad you catch your reflection in the blood and it looks like just the Sun it looks just like your sons you look just like its son and then you run * "bada dap baa daa daa daabadap bada dap baa daa daa daabadap" (they say) (youuuu think I wanttttt this it justtt happeneddddd) * and they say: "IF YOU GAVE US TO WOMEN WHAT ELSE MIGHT YOU HAVE GIVEN?" and they say: "you are your father's son you are a runner you are a runner" but you're gone

when you see the Sun hung up in the sky his preferred family circling his head they don't know the blood coating their throne- the darkest brown; your mother's. "when I rip your heart out it won't be for me when I rip your heart it out it won't set me free but there are ghosts when I rip your heart out it won't be for me when I rip your heart it out it won't set me free but there are ghosts" you lift past revolving bodies that don't even know your name you lift fingers spread head down he turns to you y'all look the same he says "if you crush my heart it won't stop you from burning if you crush my heart there will still be a broken ring" "if you crush my heart to lift the pulp up to her memory you'll still never forget the sound it made, when you did the same thing when you realized you couldn't explain when you said 'I don't know' to a broken throat you have my life in your hand you have been mulling my death" /// I AM WHAT A S-N HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO BE BUT THERE IS A COLD STONE IN NEED OF SOMETHING ELSE I KNOW /// /you were right I don't feel any better but goddamn do I feel better \and now the ruin under your hands has far outstripped its history you have not undone anything but added violence to the misery you are vengeance you are no eyes /I didn't ask for this I tried, I tried there was a shift blown into me that broke up what i grew to be i woke up with blood in my teeth so the want for yours came naturally and there's a hole now in my chest burning wider and wider out like i am wet paper it's the sound of me saying "I don't know" it's the sound of you hanging up the phone it's the sound of a blade hiccuping oh my god i am so sorry
