I am the burning tire
Wrapped around the throat of the world
Swallowing everything in smoke and flames
I am seething hatred on two legs
I am blinding rage
Formless in my malevolence
This sentence I gave myself
Youthful joy and awe
Ignorant bliss
The roots are rotten
The festering wound has had its say

Bad Genes

Long live the cancer that you are
Inherited and instigated
To be left behind with the past
As a thing that would never last
To be forgotten like so many graves in a war
An artifact
Of a bygone era
Generations cursed
And crushed by the weight of your guilt
Swept under the rug
To live as a shadow in lightlessness
As numbers on an endless list
There’s no coming back from this

Mother Earth is a cannibal
Pregnant with her next meal
A stubborn bastard
Refusing to be born
And yet it is
Both waking and stillborn
A birth never wished for
Thrown into the gnashing teeth of humanity’s will
Bent and broken
Formless and unidentifiable
Spit out to be swallowed in the curbs
This world is not new or brave
The world is not brave or new or kind or sane or quiet or graceful...

An injured dog passes slowly under the street light
Limping, sickly, starving
Looking for an end
Courageous, yes
But desperate as well
No bed that feels like home
When every place looks like a grave
The earth underneath rattles it’s bones
Sulking cowardly towards the tree line
Happily searching for a quiet place to die
I see myself in that suffering
I see my face in those glossy eyes
I am the dog

Everything Hurts
Grind your fingers
down to their bones
Give up
Set fire to all you’ve loved
Nothing will change
Those glory days
covered in shit.
It’s hard to tell where they end
and the good ones begin
This is an unkind place
I am it’s child
We are all those children
We are those sons and daughters
All their sins and failures
