Unburden

“I began to feel my misery in pallet on floor, listening
to music, my misery, that's why I want to sing.
The room closed down on me, I expected the presence
of the Creator, I saw my gray painted walls and
ceiling, they contained my room, they contained
me”
~Allen Ginsberg’s Transcription of Organ Music
I came down here
to get away
away from the noise, from the heat
from the feeling of eyes on me
the sun beating down on my neck
eternal witness of all
there is a certain calm I get
from pressing my cheek to this basement wall
Unburden me
Let me feed from the darkness
I don’t need humanity
I crave simple dark cold interrupted absence
Narcissus merely stared at his reflection in a lake
I have spent three years working, attempting to create
Perfect representation of subjective existence
To materialize a shadow is to extract a ghost from its image
Unburden me
Let me feed from the darkness
I don’t need humanity
I crave simple dark cold interrupted absence

The Creaking of a Dream

forget your wants
forget your needs
fill your mind
with the creaking of a dream
a wooden door
a darkened room
a hidden box of photographs stashed in the gloom
a faded smile cut from guitar strings
crumpled newspaper walls
laughter and screams dripping out from the seams of my stitched up manikin
looming over eight feet tall
Or am I speaking in a language no one understands?
They just laugh and say, “doesn’t he know that art is dead?”

Happiness is the crutch making your arm go numb
Happiness is the crutch making your arm go numb
It’s never been a question of everlasting permanence
Only perseverance in an ever-changing universe
Expression’s not a phase but a way to pass the days
I can create another world inside of me
I live my life like a falling tree
It’s just another breeze that blows my leaves
But I don’t need the whole world to hear me to know
The reason’s gotta be my audio affinity
Happiness is the crutch making your arm go numb
Happiness is the crutch making your arm go numb
Happiness is the crutch making your arm go numb
Happiness is the crutch making your arm go numb
