"ever wish someone would come up behind you and blow your f*cking brains out?"
before anyone could attempt
such a thing to do to you
i would pick you up,
running away
to my quiet hiding place.
i would tear open my chest,
my ribcage teeth,
placing you inside my heart
sewing it all up tight.
waiting for the moment
when all is gone -
except for dreams,
warm wet contentment,
and a dark comfort.
and then sadly
undoing the stitches,
pulling you out,
and keeping a small secret copy
inside.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.
Proverbs 18:21
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
1 Peter 5:8
you came to me last night
in dream
in song
a million dreams
just like this
in dark rooms
through secret windows
quiet
like that first time
and all around the night whorls
plumes of smoke
words unspoken
as if to breathe
would break them
and us
and as we ascend the stairs
my fingers break
too close to touch
the violence is beautiful
i swallow your tongue
to keep you from speaking
to keep you from saying something
that should be unspoken
my crooked hands ache
my jaw is tired
from caging you
when i fall awake i die
because life isn't meant for dream
but night
in night
we are everything

THROW YOUR WISHES AWAY
PROVERBS 9 13 The woman named Folly is brash.
She is ignorant and doesn’t know it.
14 She sits in her doorway
on the heights overlooking the city.
15 She calls out to men going by
who are minding their own business.
16 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple.
To those who lack good judgment, she says,
17 “Stolen water is refreshing;
food eaten in secret tastes the best!”
18 But little do they know that the dead are there.
Her guests are in the depths of the grave.
Pick up the knife.
See the silver sparkle.
Make a slit in my skin.
Just above the heart.
Let your fingers crawl inside.
Feel the scalding blood there.
Feel the pump of a dying organ.
The last gasp of love.
Now wrap your hand around me.
And squeeze the last breath.
We are good in death.
And death is good in us.
Therefore I tell you, her sins, many [as they are], are forgiven her—because she has loved much. But he who is forgiven little loves little” (Luke 7:47 AMP).

PROVERBS 7
5 they will keep you from the adulteress,
from the wayward wife with her seductive words.
6 At the window of my house
I looked out through the lattice.
7 I saw among the simple,
I noticed among the young men,
a youth who lacked judgment.
8 He was going down the street near her corner,
walking along in the direction of her house
9 at twilight, as the day was fading,
as the dark of night set in.
10 Then out came a woman to meet him,
dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.
11 (She is loud and defiant,
her feet never stay at home;
12 now in the street, now in the squares,
at every corner she lurks.)
13 She took hold of him and kissed him
and with a brazen face she said:
14 "I have fellowship offerings at home;
today I fulfilled my vows.
15 So I came out to meet you;
I looked for you and have found you!
16 I have covered my bed
with colored linens from Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
18 Come, let's drink deep of love till morning;
let's enjoy ourselves with love!
19 My husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey.
20 He took his purse filled with money
and will not be home till full moon."
21 With persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk.
22 All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer stepping into a noose
23 till an arrow pierces his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life.
24 Now then, my sons, listen to me;
pay attention to what I say.
25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways
or stray into her paths.
26 Many are the victims she has brought down;
her slain are a mighty throng.
27 Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to the chambers of death.
I just heard the coolest "remix" of Black Fuzzy. :) I had two windows of my profile open and the song overlapped, in offbeat rounds, like it was on purpose. Way cool. :)
