PORTRAIT NOT PORTRAIT

(1)

Oh ungallant bird
beautiful beak
broken body
broken not broke mind
gull, scavenging gull walking

Broken body
woman buried under fear and disbelief
no woman can call herself free…
controlled by lashing herself to her body.
wave crash
woman buried, no woman is free
THINK: i am a feminist

Woman in form
beautiful wave crash
lapping at the continent
wet, cold on rock
woman not woman

(2)

The first night i remember thinking it was a mistake, i shouldn't try
so hard, i shouldn't work so hard or expect anyone to worry.
10:30 - under clock
Clockwork

Miserable bastard
frost fucked
wave of disbelief
resting in the cold filth

(Prelude Postmortem)
Dead chicken free from
house hate
your house, our house
in love with your world, your world
he is in love with your world

Dark
wave crashing wave
retreat occurring
white foam and wave
under wave
city glow crest crash
retreat under
occurring wave reoccurring
moon occurring crash
wave retreat crash rock
wave
occurring reoccurring
retreat
wave

(4)
Drunk
wave caught on my counter
wanting to say so much more
her tears rolling back and
flowing in
cut not cut
caught on my counter
is it her or is it me?

More woman less girl…
always I suspected.
laughing woman
bitter woman
peaceful woman
passionate woman
woman not woman
beautiful wave beautiful

Dark wave crashing
once alone, twice alone
crashing on streets
beating at buildings
washing out
crashing solitary in bed
crashing
wave not wave
dark wave crashing
