so why is it
that I listen to you
when I know you know nothing
or is it because I know nothing either?
what do you know
what do I know
anyway?
and the music I hear
makes me want to
break you into pieces
and glue you to a piece of paper
to hang on the wall
to write legends across
to capture you in ink and paste
to keep you here
and keep me here where you are
and why am I so tired
when I sleep and sleep
until there is no more sleep to be had
and dreams blend into dreaming
and dreaming braids with waking?
oh, for those lips on mine again
as I walked the dreamwaking!
break me a thousand ways
but I am not unbreakable
but I am already broken
so you cannot break me any further
and you make me so anxious
with your hands caressing my head
as I try to gather the thousand scattered bits
of me and you
but I can't decide who is who
and why do I let them break me?
they have no power beyond
a day's work
a day's labor
a day's lies and lashings
but I dance with them in circles
and let them cast me away
so that I fly apart
and the pieces are everywhere
but where am I
when I am everywhere and nowhere?
my kingdom for a knife!
there are a thousand unnatural threads
to be subdivided
by color and shape and screaming
I wish I were braver
or that my veins held together
not bleeding out waxy-blue blood
to flame in the atmosphere
so that I could lie still for a while
and question the universe
without the fear creepcrawling across my face
and you told me you could fix it
with your eyes tearing me across the heart
and I wanted to come
and I wanted to be taken
but you hurt me in a thousand ways
with your ice-bright teeth and your ice-hot eyes
so I draw this circle around myself
with silver and bronze and sugar and butter
to keep me in
to keep you out
or maybe the other way around
I just can't take another touch
you said you could fix it
but what do you know?
