The Sonnets
written in 2020
Sonnet I
Chest fur helix deep—sought as in blindness
My bed when I get the sickness in mind
Psychosomatic—shriveled feminine
He makes me useless as an imbecile
Visions—suck on his sweat—it turns into
Wine in my mouth—transubstantiation
My core absorbs his rhythm—I go like
The worn Theresas agape in sculpture
Begging from the blackness of the old pit
Where sweat could pool if we could show restraint
A fountain to wash in and drink plenty
Lie like plastic beauties from the future
If we didn’t wail and scare them away
Or prefer to be wound up almost high
Sonnet II
Oh pregnant negative, I’m in trouble
He’s wrong inside, his real face hides, like me
A blank storm of psychical inertia
Awakens—I know the pattern of this
Sickos who plant nirvana but they can’t
Water it with more than a drunken sob
We know the bend love is capable of
Yet we won’t sleep for this, slump in chambers
Full of monoxide eroticism
Far from love or even lust: neurosis
Tricky to escape, we are unwilling
Navigators of the intricacies
Of pain—and there is my fear eye to eye
That he lacks the stamina this requires
Sonnet III
A demented, lovely, sly boy calls
He sits deep in his own secretive heat
I think about his body and his neck
A tranquilizer, a soft avalanche
We inhale our phones, chain-smoking shirtless
Eyes legs chests heavy—hazy translucent
Nerves, aching air, talking about nothing
Lightly, and a confession detaches
Misshapen, but we know what it stands for.
Pre-birth, my mother line carefully placed
A fix in my spine, and you unlock it
As I unlock your fathers—we come up
Fuck above a pathological world
Neither of us want to be a part of
Sonnet IV
Knew it was fucked, my gut is a screamer
Still took off my clothes, walked into the cult
Focused and bloated with fantasy drifts
Aiming high—the peak-headed forever
All-aloft, accessing my medicine
Saliva, jealousy, roses, roses
Exploding roses that I’m sure he sees
Quest for him to explicitly say it
To ask me to lick him, utter the words
It’s a control-measure of the leader
To not do, and I am always willing
Ever willing, sacralized, a glutton
In-waiting, looking up his skirt so shy
I’m a cum-powered pet with one program
Sonnet V
In the depths of night, what does his dick dream?
Does it have its own little brain flashing?
Capable of memories and visions
And working through issues like unfinished
Business—attempts to solve the emptiness
And sense that it was made for more than this
Is it like a woman's heart in the night?
So desperate and so cinematic
Weeping quietly onto the bedsheets
Thinking of me and sending messages
Up to the brain, causing a double dream
And making the morning more confusing
For a man in his forties long past prime
Still prime leaks into and from him nightly
Sonnet VI
Drunk giantess, reclined and increasing
Expansion—my bitch-aura pumping hard
Know he feels me, I'm gravitational
Having another petrol-throated rush
He is a famine victim, malnourished
Of vitals, tied to mediocrity
Skin and bones, living in head images
Proud man full of weakness and debating
Which weakness to overcome. A stubborn
Pus-yellow organ shutdown—she is dry,
A fraction—how to admit it—he can't
Without skinning his arms and legs in the
Pilgrimage to me, where he could bask in
Dawn that never comes, stabs to his ego
Sonnet VII
It's palpable, you are ashamed of her
In public or with friends, no one covets
You know that nobody desires her or
Is captivated by her presence which
Is tick-like, small and unpleasant—opposed
To the beauty you hold within, cocooned
Me. And alone with her, irritation
At her attempts, at her limitations,
Her being—you settled as many do
And, ever the fake, she has no idea
What you think when you look at her body
Of the places you've been with me in mind
How you coil faithfully through our dark folds
Into our core, where there are no morals
Sonnet VIII
Close to sleep, my misery shows herself
She dilates, distends, she’s an excessive
All-knowing organism—a pusher
She’s my best friend, she’s inexhaustible
The pusher for relief—and who is who?
The sense is lost—I’m her—I ask myself
To break myself, and so I tear into
Trembling paradise where the fabric
Of reality splits open, drips sex
Sick memory kisses and projections
Summer warm and alive with the purpose
And I get all the attention I need
And he says the nice things to me again
Says his very best, right into the lapse
Sonnet IX
He set the game standard, a forked dispatch
Balls enough to test me—I analyzed
Him on that basis—so naively so
I expected manipulation to
Have a goal beyond habitual play
His red-faced admission to be nothing
To have nothing to give except sorry
To have wanted but pull a pull-out move
Being a failure, his fear was failure
And it was a smart move; as a snake slides
To the altar it knows of two outcomes
It could become a Demi-God, or else
It will get fucked, beaten, and sacrificed
So, the snake slid backwards, grand as a worm
Sonnet X
None of this is about you, nor love, no
It's my pitiful pride, a stone I hold
That I am not the alpha, Arian
That I haven't won the competition
I employed every tactic of war
Ranging from reconnaissance to displays
To firepower—all fucking wasted
And it hurts, it hurts just like heartache must
Duped by substanceless, peacock energy
Massaging a festering appendix
To come out the loser, there's nothing worse
Examining all the dead potency
These permanent stains are all over me
None of this is about you, never was
