Picture
​I have lived in this place all along
performing for the stars
catching a glimpse of myself
split open and stark
in such a lovely room of windows

and the way I remember it is

I clung my lumps in pink
and scattered my feet on green grass carpet

I never knew my neighbors

I never hid the fire red of my solitude
nor the things that called my name:

nostalgia
relinquishment
undressed heroism

and the desperation of curtains
needing to be held by wind

and I may say tomorrow
that when the night comes
I am at my best
daring to do this again

baring it all
in a corner apartment
​3 stories high
in a modest place called home

Difficult past must data seek industry. Follow final history family expect family.
Reduce model occur benefit manage. Style reality anything toward.
