monday my little girl asked, "what would happen if someone ate
the sun and
how many calories does it have?"
and i wish i could see myself objectively, wish
my skin wasn't worn from
fitful starvation.
have you ever seen your
hands as i do, strange bloated things
in search of bones?
and i wish i could remember when beauty
was a mouth red as pomegranate seeds eyes
like sickle moons. back when it was
more than numbers. ninety-five, eighty-eight.
get down to eighty-five and you will be
beautiful. be
thin and sexless as wet march.
tuesday pa told me: "acceptance ain't something you
can buy at a convenience store."
and i am all ma
Try turning a gun inside out. See what happens.
Perhaps you will find love there, around the bullets,
or a story about love in a way you've never experienced,
but you somehow know exists.
Try turning a paper crane inside out, or a thousand.
See what happens. Reversed, they just make other animals,
butterflies that refuse to eat for an entire lifetime,
wounded elephants, and spiders that feast upon sunbeams.
Try turning your house inside out, like it has an eating disorder,
and purges your books and CDs and unwashed laundry onto your lawn,
the neighbor's lawn. See what happens when you try

the cold winds of Despair
Summer feels so much warmer with a girl on your arm. She once said she'd be your life preserver, and she was right; if you plunged into the river of time, she'd be there, pulling you and your arm to safety. You don't even want to think about plunging into the river of space between you and her. Last night you told her she was a beautiful woman, but you and I both know she's merely a girl, at least in your eyes.
The sunset looks so much brighter with lips on your neck. City skylines stare down upon you and never lie; their shadows overpower yours so that you no longer have to worry what she will say when she watches cars run over her elongate

Let The Dead Dogs Fly
Eat a dead fish.
It will not disrupt your blood
or make you agitated. It will not
make your skin shimmer,
or your heart beat faster.
Always I am a piece of meat
moving from shell to empty shell,
wondering what the hell is going on
when I realize that every TV
in the whole world is on.
Rotten peanut butter cups
and vacuous lifeless lust.
You are not worth one drop
of coffee. I would rather
lick some vomit off my lips
than give you one business kiss.
Your friend is having seizures
and I don't care. Your toes
won't sparkle today and my
blood sugar drops down
a flight of stairs twice
to a man with bad breath

A Critical Compliment.
i.
criticizing carbohydrates and evils that destroy beauty,
i am carrying her lovely last meal
in front of me on the stairs
like it is a bag of malodorous trash or
a long while dead rotten chihuahua,
by just the two fingertips.
she was going to put a picture of her heart
in a picture frame,
but someone else did it first.
the sounds of bags bursting,
rap music, skin opening like a waterballoon,
midnight lungs painfully relieving themselves,
the crunching of chips, the crunching of chips,
the crunching of chips.

my room says: i do not enjoy seeing the real world;
i do not enjoy seeing the real world.
It feels like it is my wedding day
and I am walking down the aisle
in a big blue dress
and instead of a man
or a priest at the altar,
there is a coffin.
But it looks just as
wonderful and comfortable
to climb into.
It's been... nearly 2 years.
So I'm at uni now, just uploaded a bunch of work I've been doing. Not sure how often I'll be around here any more, but at least I've updated my gallery and cleared out my inbox.
Lets hope I don't forget about this place again...
I know what I'm talking about with Textiles. Results were in today:

I'm damn happy. Thanks to my dad for teaching me how to draw and my mum for showing me how to sew, I got something I wanted but totally didn't expect.
So I'm back at last, after my loooong break from posting stuff.
This is because I've been so clogged full of work that I've actually had no time hehe.
However, considering a lot of my college work needs to be photographed and annotated, I don't think there's any harm in me posting the stuff on here and gauging the feedback :]
Look out for any new material y'all
