Piorno's Angel

my wall painted white
my tv too bright
all those rockets flew over
my head my eyes
my pivoting stare
my holy ghost i
knew that you couldn't stay here
that's fine
we played as we went
we paid and were spent
built axes to record
affect-intent
with slithering sails and
frozen boats but
that's how you feel
i'm mad at the murals
attached to a world
much further from the
providential plural
the pure inverse
okay through worse
i dreamt that you'd swam here in april

Seen You Dance

get lost, i think that we're too close
i've seen you dance and i've smoked in your room
best friend, but you're a little colder
best night i've had in a while
i'm like the boyfriend in the story
leave, protect me from my god
if providence has a face it's turned blue
i can't sleep for the sound of my own cough
i couldn't reach you but i could hear from you

Apartment Goth
01:50
|
|||
|
spent too much time indoors
reincarnated as apartment goth
mirrored light in my bedroom
evokes a neon sign blinking all capitals screaming:
how long can you live without being sure?
i lost myself last night
felt like a dispatch from another boy’s life
released numb hands before last dance
evokes intrusive thoughts leaking paint peeling beseeching:
how long can you live without being sure?
it’s embarrassing to live
and not know

The Reality Coast

|

|
marooned on the reality coast
i want to feel you here
but i can’t feel
i must have been inside a deep deep sleep
but i’m awake now
i’m wide awake
it seems there's
another new type of problem
another outsider album
to guide us home
tough lessons
i wish i was more aggressive
we live in cheeseburger mecca,
mech suit, and telephone
i think it sounds good but i don’t know
disappointment and jealousy are cruel to us
they sleep beneath me
crawl to the kitchen and help themselves
so don't
try to tell me that there's some good in every one
i don't feel so good
i hate my guts

Deep Museum

awoke on sunday to the river clear
a taste of sumac and a smoggy atmosphere
you sank a ship and made me cut the line
frozen jungle and the gleam of human night
i think about you when the power’s out
i spare a candle to keep darkness in the house
despite all that these broken mirrors glow
you couldn’t place your trust in that stove coil
i was waking up to garbage on my lawn
i remember writing letters unembossed
saved you from that dustbin, mama
back from the mall with something new to lose
chase any feeling that you bet won’t leave a bruise
this night alone will turn me to a crocodile
you shot me with a gun, it turned me febrile
“irregardless of what transpired”
soothed by a record, i was singing with mariah
the light of my own world, my head of lice
cool in the cubicle and absent as a smile
couldn’t wager out the lyrics to your song
photo portraits smoking melting to the wall
and this time we’re both wrong
hit after
hit after
hit
and the hits just keep on coming
kick after
kick after
kick
and they kick you while you’re falling
you hit the beach and it’s overcast
it’s so hard to make something normal last
stop digging thru the cooler,
it’s just ice
