I got a zit
to remind me
I'm not an
old man yet,

right on the
'round of my chin
beat-beet red

and headless,
the way I would
imagine a cancer-
ous cyst would look,

maybe I'm a little-
bit older than
I'd like to admit.

Woodkid - Iron

Woodkid - Iron Głęboko w toni wód, w martwocie i odrętwieniu, Gdzie niewinne dusze płoną w potępieniu, Tysiące mil od domu, idę naprzód sam, Przemarznięty do szpiku kości, jestem tylko ja, Żołnierz samozwańczy, nie znam drogi swej, Topię się panicznie w winie wewnątrz mnie, Czekam tylko na znak, ręka na piersi drży, Jestem gotowy na bój, przeznaczenie i łzy. W mojej głowie dzwoni impet żelaznych nut, Grom bębnów wojennych zapisuje już, Rytm ciał upadających, ilość martwych dusz,

Don't break

Pause. A deep breath and a sip of liquor makes a manual that tells you how to achieve nothing. A break to break down your thinking. A chance to pick apart every brick of ours and inspect it so that we know every one is made of dust. But Homes can be made of mud so you spit until your lips crack and you stir everything together, hoping you have enough in you to maybe make a doorway that will lead somewhere else.

Softening of Armor

There was a time of great sickness- bare bones starving out the demons and building fragile frameworks to withstand the stress of change. There were doubts and defenses… fear and then thunder- crashing moments of shared vibration. The epic push and pull, full silence followed by some sweet surrender, affirmations of realness, the softening of armor, the slow, sinking sensation of accepting a beautiful truth whose solace outweighed trepidation. A greatness to vanquish all previous transgressions- the abstruse condition of falling in love. © M.Pimentel 2015

Loveless: Butterfly-Touch

His hands are almost always cold. They are cold and they are bony. Cold, bony and big but they're soft. Not even Seimei's hands were as soft as his. Not even when all Seimei did was to pat his head or tickle his cheek with feather-light touches - not even then could the softness be compared to those touches. His hands are even calloused in places – and there are scars on them he notices when he looks closer - but even though Seimei's hands were untouched by any kind of hard work or craftsmanship they do not compare to these. His hands are big, cold and bony, but they touch him like the fluttering wings of butterflies, caressing, strok

Tapestry

The morning is a tapestry... tripping over last night's grace, I watch you weave your skin and shake out your hair - soft teal and jonquil shadowing your cheek as the curtains part between your hands. Threads tangle as you turn, telling me dawn is a gentle lover, and the tumble of birds plaiting their soft notes lingers on the pillows where your smile is my undoing.

Literature

Suicide

This lovely suicide - the hiss of smoke dangling between your fingers and the loss of breath that claimed your sleep. Your limbs - somnolent, wrapped against the autumn chill fingers draped with paper angels as someone you never knew tucked a lily behind your dreams. I could almost hear your skin speaking eloquent and parched as summer, wondering if you had landed somewhere holy or if god had kept you waiting.

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave
