poetry

untitled
love poetry... about james dean. just kidding about the love part.

seascape
great final verse.

a metal frame
probably about terry/the same persona in crawl inside. how shocking.

radiology
urban. not bad.

bonds being broken
helplessness.

untitled
the end of verse.

snapshot
still life or setting.

reading wit
nice pun.

untitled
about words and nothingness. see a pattern?

it was no good
death remembers all uneven things.

the prison of the house
feeling in stillness.

friday night, hotel room
the light recalls a larger side of loneliness.

like skeletons, ever so pretty
borrowing a line from suede. a verse, i mean. seriously.

a metal frame (ii)
shockingly enough, this is a partner piece to my older poem of the same name.

mad dog, god damn
borrowing a title from elastica. almost. other than that, this has nothing to do with the song. so rest easy.

untitled
when it comes to writing, this is what i do.

breaking the rules
kind of meaningless, but not. yet again, oddness abounds.

the heart and the rain
this one has it all--a few interesting ideas and a shocking last verse.

next
love in a museum. or not, but i love it when i'm clever.

covered everything under the sun
again, nothing to write home about. but good enough, and with a comsat angels reference to boot. that's something.

the absence of tears
a slightly modified version. the opening verse is still really good.

veil
this one i'm not so sure about. but again, that's one killer opening line.

the velocity of sorrow, or: transport to central
words fly. very simple, but i think it's good.

a metal frame (iii)
the return of the infamous "crawl inside" persona. how original. my ending lines are as powerful as ever.

first movement
words are universal. empathy is my dream job.

piano score
yet again, working with recurring themes. i'm so talented, as i'm sure you can tell.

seemingly, the end
i kind of like this. endings are still my forte.

with every hint
i really, really want to be charles wright. this, however, isn't even funny.

in blood
holly, billy and lawrence. i couldn't write without my influences. i'm eternally grateful.

grave, beautiful
more of that lovelorn mood. how cool.
