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?)"

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
