‘he might work in mysterious ways’
dug deep
into the metal
of the urinal partition
the message
jesus will save you.
honestly, if he hasn’t already
i doubt he ever will
especially while shaking
piss from the tip of my cock.

‘half full’
i have so many words for you;
i just don’t have the heart.

‘11’s’
i see 11’s
all day, all night
a cosmic signal
of what i’ve no clue
a comfort to think
i may have someone
something
on my side.
a little support
from the unknown
is infinitely better
than the known
leaving you to hang
time and time again.

‘he needs a shovel’
tired, so tired.
one foot in the grave
the other stomps the shit
that put him there.

‘strewn everywhere’
you can only comprehend my pieces
if you’re shattered yourself.

‘honesty of the situation’
you laugh wildly
i never air my dirty laundry
even as you push the next guy
from your sheets
i’d never call you a whore
mind you
but your casual bed making
is a bit offsetting
to each their own
you declare sternly
as you steal from under my nose
i’d never call you a thief
mind you
but your casual sticky fingers
are a bit fucked up.

‘lone wolf’
more than ever i am alone
worn
hungry
my only companion
the moon upon my back.
