Touchstone + Innogen

In fariness, you warned me.  In fairness, hanging by a thread, felt more like walking an epic plank to board a pirate ship (of fun).

I want to play through you

play you

through

(joue)

Carve you with the sharp edges of the broken,

a game of, soul

through you, play.

Roaming jellyfish you think Luminescent thoughts Mind swept stung still, most unkind

Wall Street Type Drama

[Indoors]

Boss: That's all grand and great, but just remember /pride/ is the number one killer of good decision

CockyTalented: Lack of foresight is the number one killer of good decisions

Boss: If your pride wasn't making you goofy, you'd see being gracious to your boss makes them more inclined to be gracious back to you when you finally mess up

CockyTalented: -IF, I mess up

[long stares]

Boss: You just messed up right now

[Leaves, turns just before exiting through door]

CockyTalented: it was a good decision

I'm imaginary. Tonight I'll forgive me those seconds I thought I'd become real.

It is I

Lista la Vascularidad

Evidentemente abrí tu novela preferida

ante la página en que el protagonista tiembla

y dibuja con crayones cien tinieblas:

cortar y leerte es un idioma, es una vena.

Me ajusta cortar y preguntarla. Tomarte y detente.

-

Me gusta tachar los versos en el texto

débil bajo mis dedos, invisible

fácilmente imaginando un otoño imperfecto

una pausa irenista

un discurso lento y risible

-

Te preguntabas cómo se esencia

ese "amor" tuyo tan incontenido y desajustado

yo contestando "si no es así no vale la pena"

imitaba a algún héroe de novela olvidada,

sangrienta, despojada de hojas.

instanciadas con puñales  en los primeros capítulos.

-

Pero me levanté detrás de un podio

me hundí bajo mis propias sentencias

dormía bajo listas cursivas de pureza inspoportable

"Amar" por completo  Amarte por completo     derramar.

Si no es así, no vale la pena.
