• I’m Only The Watcher

  In borrowed headphones hit the street, meet Keith for keef at the boardwalk I’m paro as fuck now but when I get home I’m getting high as a parrakeet Or a palace parapet where the ivy climbery meets the downward creepers And Rapunzel’s hair is a rock climbing teacher Load of absolute creatures beside me,…

• Albedo

  White as twelve ivories White as the moon’s eye White as the dying White as runic lightning White as Papal garb White as paper sheaf White as a chasuble White as delight, charity, merrity, rare nobility White as albumen White as Algernon White as studs along Orion’s belt White as the skin around your welts…
