Draining in bucket of others
Mixed craftly, tirelessly with palms and lip-drool
of your design, by my allowance
Divingdinless
On ledges of vertigo falcons,
I left behind some crumbs for flying
critters
Teardrop’s ash
What can I say, and how
To make the words into shievers
Where would I learn, and if I did, how would you know
Leftover love
I hid you in my thought
Deep, in dark ravines
Behind mountains of chores

Of all,

Laid rotten in the nest
Even the runt flew close to the embrace
Quest

Should I spend the night with JustALizz?
Nah! give her just a minute or two
She's almost in the middle, Mary's that prudish kindda slut

Like home alone brats
Just to play
Incest
Just because I said I love you
You don't steer
Just because I said I'd die for you
Ode to Stupid
You,
you slaughtered methaphors in ditches
Turned revolving souls into stomping flats
