Birds
the water in the bathtub is high,
and I am much too high to see
and as my head sinks ‘neath the surface
it’s getting easier to breathe
I thought I was a chemical bond,
two parts love and one part joy,
but all I’ve figured out is I am two parts paraphanalia
and one part restless boy
but if I was a bird, I’d be that crane from that story that dies
it’s not...

scottiehughes:
this is how you write poetry: belly-up in the gutter, dull rings of petrol marring the edges and rainbowing grey hues across the sidewalks, like someone wrung a sunset, fuschia against storms;
we let doors slam on our way out into the evening, steering through cold-clotted woolen stares from…

I Live in The West.
Granted, it’s not so much “The Wild West” anymore as it once was, but there are still pieces of legends here in an evening breeze. There are ghost towns within about 2 hours of where I live in any direction you please. Tumbleweeds roll across the highway with comforting regularity, and most of the people who live here have at least seen a horse and have a real back yard.
I grew...

You left

You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You
At least I don’t think you would
but I
Do
miss you.
When the guitars and the voices are too loud to hear,
when my truck doesn’t start (more and more often these days)
and in the small shudders
down the
middle of my back
I never told you I could love you.
I can’t.
And I know
from experience (or something like it)
that it’s better to have nothing
than to...

She never was happy, was she? Even if he awkwardly placed his hands above her hands in a clumsy manner that says more that he’s trying to care than that he cares, she couldn’t appreciate the attempts because he felt so maneuvered to attempt and at the most frustrating of her days she just told him…

The Bushes Aren't Your Bed But They'll Do
Oh sing to me soft on your sweet subtle wind
and tell me a story we both could star in
It’s been one frigid fight and I know I won’t win
but I think that I could if you showed me your skin
It’s been too long since last night and the future’s too far
I’d rather eclipse through your thighs in my car
but I know that you’ll call me another mistake

Lucid Dreams
When you dream about it
so often
that it’s routine
to wake up with echoes on your lips
and
an empty chest
where her head ought to be resting
seems mundane
kissing somebody
in
real life
bears no discernible difference.

One Night Last January
I met this girl I’d never met before.
She had strong cheekbones.
I fell in love.
Six hours of beer, dancing, and talking in sparse smiles and that weird kind of magnetism
where you don’t really know somebody
but you know you’d like what they have to say about breakfast the next morning,
and I was sleeping next to what
I deemed a either an angel or a girl who goes blind...

Oh Kyle.
Me: Rebecca Black is hot.
Kyle: In a weird, too wholesome kind of way.
Me: if she was in a catholic school uni-
Kyle: PEARLS.
Kyle: Wait. Do you think she's classy enough for pearls?
Kyle: Would you have sex with Rebecca Black if she was wearing pearls?
Kyle: What are you, on coke?
Kyle: How about without pearls?
Kyle: What if she was wearing a rosary?

Post-Rock Concert Conundrums
The trees are flashing us.
The goldenrod bushes radiate
blossoms
as if the sun went out last night
and is still hungover from the moonshine.
It’s at moments like this that I feel like a nature poet,
transcendental as fuck.
But the thing is,
I hate transcendentalism.
Much as I feel about surrealism,
feminism,
sexism,
any -ism you’d like
they’re all ways of...

If I had a flower for ever syllable of laughter I ever got from you,
I might have a rose garden on a desert breeze.
If I had an apricot tree for every smile I hope to gain,
we’d run out of room real quick and the world would really get to hate apricots,
but I’d eat every single one
to the core
dripping juice down my chin
and not wiping it away
because it reminds me of

I tore the night open

I think they’re calling them stars now.
