bite-sized or morsel like little poems

poems that r just a dash in and out

sometimes more than 1 stanza but i dont think any are more than 12 lines


"speaking makes it so (1)" (Fall 2024)

My stomach buzzes with disconnection
A soft fire sears. my skin
I need to pull my stomach from what's in

For
        I'm not supposed to have a shirt
My sk   the shirt rubs it raw

"speaking makes it so (2) - or no?" (Fall 2024)

My stomach shimmers with disconnection
It stings to wear this skin
Flesh. raw flesh. open wound. cut open
By cloth--by polyester--by chafing, loose veils(s)

Soft pain
Lucid rememberence

"Sugar cookie" (Spring 2025)

Sugar cookie
Soft and chewy
Sugar cookie
Yummy yummy
Sugar cookie
In my tummy
Sugar cookie
Sharp like shrapnel
Sugar cookie
Cuts me open
Sugar cookie
Raw skin bleeding
Sugar cookie
Soft and chewy

"Radial Symmetry" (Spring 2025)

Arms shoot from my stomach (naval?)
Hands reach out my mouth (tongue?)
Two fingers dislodge my eyes (pupils?)
My neck bones are caressed, inwards like
My arms bend backwards
I feel it like it's new

"Rip my eyes out" (Spring 2025)

No stealing
Can't live
Everything is borrowed
Time,
Apple,
Etc.

"i want it i need it to make me feel heated" (Spring 2025)

I need to be loved
Like a scythe
Loves a wheat stalk

I need to be held
Like MrGear
Holds 1000° knife

I need to be crushed
Like a hand
By a mallet
Like frozen play-doh
By hydraulic press

Like Monokuma
Loves Monomi

"Svelte E" (Fall 2025)

Scalping kid's cards at a Costco
--But you know that now
::Noir mtf, a tragic kind of kind of glamour::
Know you this: I wasn't playing around
It just occurs and you
Find it as it is,
An Unown glyph
Didacticism: a wound that kills inspiration
(Right?)

"Neck pain from dehydration" (Fall 2025)

I've got mucus in my mouth
And floaters in my vision
I cough (*cough*) to spit it out
Oh, whoops, there goes my wisdom

"school is like hole in the wall" (Fall 2025)

school is like hole in the wall
but all the walls r invisible
and ur playing by urself
(and there is no wall.?)
(not for sure, at least)
(except what u think the expectations is)
contortion like this comes in waves
but mostly it facilitates boredom
eek!

"-mile_like_a_crack_in_the_earth_s-" (Fall 2025)

Your mouth can open wide
But it's just not wide enough
Your teeth look kinda funny
But that shit is not fucking tuff

"One more before bed" (Winter 2025)

Embedded in a boulder crypt, call that shit entombed
Embedded in a pound of flesh, call that shit a womb
Embedded in the setting sun, call that shit Atum

"swingset meditations" (Winter 2025)

...pull things closer as it all keeps drifting away
this reseaming life with its plasticine lumps lodged not quite deep inside
trying hard when i can
being kind cuz i have to...

the taste of scraped slime from esophagus;
half-settled dry air and a leaf tornado

"new snowfall; no footprints" (Winter 2026)

past tense: what i'm living thru
possessive: what it is to u

"i want 2 cry but i dont remember why" (Spring 2026)

why did u cry
why did u tell a lie

yo
Y.O.U. guys
y did u talk 2 us?

"wake up and send a heart emoji to the person who hurt u cuz u know they'll send one back" (Spring 2026)

u need medical paperwork to do anything these days
so what, u thought u were special
u thought u were the only one who's grey?
nothing 2 parry
just tank the boss
and try again
(that is, show up and sit 3 hours in shame hahahahaha)
lol

"more phlegm" (Spring 2026)

if sifting thru my puke and bile- idk-
if any of that could kind of help u- idk-
(which is annoying cuz sometimes the things that i think are just spit and mucus are actually somehow being a clarifying agent 2 other ppl;
and so it's like, do i want to throw it all out (up),
or chance it that my lumpen snot could actually be helpful 2 keep around;
a practice in staving off self-hatred-
and fighting the rot)

"mundane confusion" (Spring 2026)

I dont know how I did it
I dont know if I can do it again
I dont know if or why people like me
I dont know how to be people's friend

"doctor's note (u just mist the bus)" (Spring 2026)

Burning face
Burning feet
Choke myself and cough up mucus
Burning everything
Sore sore sore
Like a soft rumbling

"caption for a memory" (Spring 2026)

Some people don't show up to school
Some people get hit by garbage trucks

How good do you have to be before you can be seen in public

She just needs a little prompting, that's all

"sleeptalk recording(1)" (Spring 2026)

i just wanna be helpful
i just wanna contribute cuz sometimes ur talking about things i have been knowing and thinking about
but i dont know how to enter into the conversation and so im just reeling and looping andandand yeyeye

"citrus-y aftertaste" (Spring 2026)

if you strike at the joints-&the right joints @ the right time the thing will be felled & it will fall into itself-
drowning (melting more like it) in lactic acid
All it needs to do is collapse under its own weight and thats enough
Something has to give
coagulated lactic acid, drown that bitch again

"i need to learn to call people out more" (Spring 2026)

even nazis will play hard 2 get
that or they dont like attempting to have good faith conversations about their beliefs all the time and so that's why i get blocked
-it's gotta be 1 or the other, no other possible explanation

"command line:ctrl+c" (Spring 2026)

i wrote ur letter. i really did
i wrote a lot of them
i just never got them in the mail is all
it's ab. closing the loop
-only can do it when it is a noose

"notes for the our father" (Spring 2026)

320 times touching a keyboard with a cold, numb hand
Which, I guess im just reconstructing the Feng lyricism gives me hope video essay
Psychopathology requires wrote relaxation
Religious right reanimating Rembrandt in the rotunda again
このごろ、最近nono, but 'a lot' is,?
U can make money on crypto, I think anyone could
Shed skin will cure ur paralysis
Some of the time
Her bruised knees and cum filled gullet could be from anything
I finally bought a new toothbrush from the store again

"double bill dream" (Spring 2026)

sequel to funny games thats an adaptation of lost or the walking dead or outlast but in reverse

dream of deception on reality tv

dream of hope and halfway solitude

174
147

12 years later and its still just the same
a zodiac epiphany

"a mantra for cutting off fingers" (Spring 2026)

the words are the parts of me that crawled out and got stuck in the screen
Thats not how I am right now, necessarily

"park bench notation w/ no clipboard" (Spring 2026)

broken nails like a chrysalis
-but it's a shock or a pain or something to (suddenly?) (start to) feel what in/under that not quite skin
-neo sspacian chrysalis

"12 100 187" (Spring 2026)

filling tissues with cum or mucus
it's up to you
you get to choose
so choose what matters to you / what's important to you

"caption for a memory ii" (spring 2026)

a half-bROKEN HANd and a clogged as if collapsed human lung
holding on together
(sometimes<,-> in a dream)

crushed, that is, like a candelabra and all other noun+verb luminescent things

held close like a homunculus
like apparently every boy and his tiger has ever been

plush fur like it's a the bible

oh so u want2b a palindrome again??

so muchlove when ur curling ur fist

(urshifu_singlestrike+protective-pads)

::about poetry::

Most of the poems I've written over the past couple years. I like poetry as a medium because it lets me push language to its breaking point and is the easiest medium for me to translate some of my more intense feelings into something semi-legible. It also lets me frame my paranoid, repulsive, etc. thought patterns as something closer to beauty.
