[because we all know whose fault it was]
tell her the nails that we drove
through her feet are beautiful,
or tell her the pain is only temporary
give her the seat at
the head of the table
a cupful of blood or a
cupful of tears, and let her
name her son before you take him away
let her believe in god if
that’s what she needs
there is no shame in acknowledging
the scope of human weakness

[you said love will never die]
laughter in the face of
someone else’s pain
poetry like god puking up
a weekend binge
nothing beautiful, but i’ve always
known myself to be ugly,
so this is okay
this is a man with a gun
mowing down four strangers
trapped in the corner of a crowded room
two fourteen year-old girls getting
high in the
second-story apartment next door
the future always shaped by
the ignorance of the past
and where do you place yourself
in the picture?
do you talk about
your father’s suicide?
will you let it
influence your own?
tell me if i’m getting
too personal here

Have you heard the Echoes?
the short version
bled dry but still 106 more
payments left on the mortgage
still two loans outstanding
and a leak in the brakeline
a message from my mother
says the old man’s not
dead yet,
but he will be
says there is no such thing
as a distance that can
ever be completely crossed
you reach out your hand to
pull the plug and the
future just keeps
moving further away

[i don’t wanna know/i’m glad i don’t know]
13 yrs old high in
the back seat and it’s only a
matter of time before
everyone here is fucked
song on the radio and it’s the
same one yr father was
singing when he fell down
the basement stairs, and it’s
good to believe there are
still some drugs worth
dying for
it’s this idea of the
future that
keeps me awake at night
the point where i end but
it keeps moving on
without me
