We Drink to Forget

double double demo day

passing worn cups on silver trays,
never mind new york brides
and bridges made
from long decay
and loving trades.

i’ll be leaving soon
with matches and a shaded view.
i walk in the shade of you
with glances always misconstrued.

demo day yay

there’s room enough for two
with a view
of the room
where she puts on expensive perfume
and i’ll watch her walk around
for a day
or a few
on her pearly white carpet and shoes.

i’m masquerading up
and down the pews
where its warm
from the service we viewed
the children laughed
as she chose her groom
i heard the sound
from the back of the room

day by day the summer wastes away so i can taste the taste of long decay and warm embrace. you left me with a sunken face i’ll polish with my calloused hands until the dirt leaves thicker branding marks upon my eyes, and then i’ll start to count the days i’m left. i saw you through my windowpane discovering the bitter, breaking dance you danced with chilling hands on carpet stained with drunken plans. he’ll leave you to discover spain on boats filled with endless grain. i hate the sound the curtains make when i try to sleep away the day.

in case u missed it.

Demo time!

-water for daisy-

caught between 
people out making scenes 
with their wine and the trees.

bleeding fast
find a girl make it last.
on the floor, broken glass
digging holes in my back.

now you’re gone
its so strange here
the coming calm
leaves estranged fears.

separating
all the dogs in the yard
while water feeds daisies.
all the water for daisy.

now you’re gone
its so strange here
the coming calm
leaves estranged fears.
the windows will
keep the dark out
but escalate
the sounds of waves near.

now you’re gone,
its so strange here.
