under streetlamps
where we keep our photographs
and money for rainy days
in a cardboard box;
we'll meet there
and we'll be atrocious where no one and everyone
can see us in the dimming of
new york city lights
setting fires
and robbing banks like bandits
the night sky dwindles before us
and quiet settles in among the crickets and pink blossoms.
open hands, open eyes, open palms.
no love could match yours you say
letting rain drops and bee hives into your eyes.
no my mouth opens. bees. bees. hundreds of bees
swarm into my mouth and all i can think of is bees.
i would never put anything before us.
besides, i reside in the brown pools your eyes
make when they whisper, come, come, blossoms
cry for us; well mesh our palms
and make history. you say
so many things that i cant keep track of all the things you say,
and each time you speak, the bees
come out of you
when i was a child, i would wear skirts when i played football with the boys,
getting purple and yellow bruises to match the grass stains id get
on my white blouses.
i was an odd type of girl, the family all sitting on one small couch
watching the baseball game while i would sit on the floor,
just drawing and cutting out snips of paper,
and id spread them on the floor and pretend
it had snowed.

i dont have an eating disorder
all i can do from--
sitting on this chair
--vomiting--
exploding my ice
cream guts and
root beer plasma
--is to just try to stay awake--when my eyes
go blurry
and fade.
i was always bad at math by EgyptianWolf, literature
Literature
i was always bad at math
you = writers block + all of the vomit that i can't keep down
in (love)sickness
sometimes i wonder why you gave me the sky
instead of a paper crane, neither of which
i deserve
nothing of what you are shimmering gold under the prospector's keen and anxious eye
the jumble of words that i always miss when i'm trying to describe the way
your eyes are the oceans i sail on to reach the destination:
elementary mathematics that = you.
i can't find the variable, the compass has died.
let out that angry virus from the bottom of the atlantic;
i work better under pressure.

catnip with a WHOLE new meanin
there are pink polka-dotted leopards across my lawn
and my cat looks out the dust-streaked window with such yearning
to join them. come
here, kelly-cat.
look at me, quick-turn back, alert with those
femme fatal ears. if she could, i know she'd
bite her nails and lightening bolt out the
goddamn door
that i spent so much time locking.
with my ample supply of a bending spirit,
i can see you in my tree;
we've been rubber band snapped! across two opposite sides of a
crowded room.
and we meet
between the sharp black teeth of
african cats and domestic housecats
and i want to unwind with you like dental floss and
love you like
malar
if i just jumped off of the cerulean cliffs
without a flappy parachute, i don't think i'd have any regrets,
except i forgot to
feed my goldfish,
or that i never really got to explore the canadian countryside
by ottawa or the niagara.
the oxygen would smash! onto my face
as i began my descent; my fear of heights
completely forsaken, just preparing for when i would eventually
impale myself onto the epic copper spires that
probably made up atlantis at one point.
i can see the seaspray mermaids now, coming closer into view,
and the masts that once spanned the azure sky
are the clouds that reflect the angels' smiles when i
reach them

Literature
it's a matter of perspective
i'm developing a nasty habit of
chewing on my plastic lips
and feeling the buzz of the
caffiene in my jello legs, the tremors
zoinkBOINGzoink!ing up to my hands.
i re-pierced myself when i tried to thread a jewel through my
elfish ears, and my mom scolded me;
you need to eat proteins if you want the shaking to
stop
what you're doing
and i held my flabtasmic skin close to me to keep the heat in and
i dug beneath it, performing the liposuction
by means of playskool scissors.

The birds crow
The wolves howl
And not a human will know
How the forest goes.
The raccons live
in their holes
and the puma sits on a cliff's ridge
listening to a bluebird song.
At night, the stars light the sky,
and the wolves frolic in the grass.
At this time, not an animal will die,
but they'll rejoice no human intervention.
The flowers dot the meadow
with their purple petals.
The deer sit in a row
and watch the shooting stars.
An eagle soars above the trees
listening to the songs.
But he called a warning distubing the ease
of this grande forest.
He told them about iron bars
being raised in the forest.
These bars did n
Footsteps, echoes, ringing silence
Thoughts of those we have left behind
or going away forever
at this time.
I'm here to help, I've always been
but now it seems that it's time to let go
and move on for what life holds for us.
I don't want to see you leave, I want to say no
I can't let go of the past
I can't see the future, alas
The present is too painful
it's hard for anything to be gained
I don't want to see you go
I never thought it would come to this but, dont,
Don't ever
Forget me
Thinking, dreaming, remembering
Times that we have shared together
those times we laughed and cried
those hard times
You're there for me, Yo
The Sea of Remembrance by EgyptianWolf, literature

The Sea of Remembrance
A girl sat upon a sandy beach
gazing at the cerulean waves.
Everyday she came while each
time, uneventful passed the days
Each day and each night
the waves would lick feet
and each day and each night
there was no one for her to greet
Until the day she saw a figure
coming towards herself
When she found out who was the lingerer
she ran into his arm and melts
But as he tried to catch her,
as she tried to feel,
only the sand saved her
and she realized he wasn't real
But a wind-like thing caressed her shoulder
and a voice on the winds breath
only a voice was there to hold her
only a voice like death
He held her arms but there w
As I face the north
my back to the south
I know to go forth
and speak from my mouth.
The east still beckons
and the west still calls.
The sun warms me and reckons
that along my road there will be falls
The clouds taunt me
with their little voices
and the roads sneer at me
telling me to make choices
But the wind remains at my side
for ever more
And the rain becomes the awesome tide
that knocks upon my door
But as the journey goes ever on
in this waching machine called life
I realize this is MY song
my sorrow, my strife
After journeys to the ocean
and trips to the sky
after all of the motions
we now must say goodbye
Good
How do I find myself lost
in a world of vast nothingness?
The entire earth leaves me unsatisfyed
and deserts me to stress
All of my possesions
and all of my fears
are nothing more then traces of memories
filled with hurt and filled with tears
You ask me if I'm really ok
and you expect me to answer?
After all my pain and sorrow
all my memories go by in a whirr
I want to leave
and never come back
to this desolate place
where every ground bears a scratch
A paradise I long to go
and to hide away forever
To listen to the crystaline wind
and where flowers always were
Where the beasts of burden
find their home
and the wolves f
Look at the girl who stands alone
at the broken hearted wreck
See how she cries and see how she moans
on a sorrowful road she trecks
You ask if she's pithy
You ask if she's fine
You ask if she's happy
You ask "Is she mine?"
You insensitve fool
how could she be fine
when sorrow pounds like a tool
and how could she "be mine"?
All you do is torment her
as your hobby and for fun
you've broken the heart of this girl
and you've turned her anger from a pound to a ton
You're a shopworn symbol of a grocery store gone awry,
the cashiers rusted and the manager hasn't shaved his
salt and pepper beard since last November.
A spooky sort of stagnant
nothing
hangs in the air,
like a lone private waiting in the Ardennes
for a Panzer platoon to strike,
except the Nazis fell a while ago,
you psychotic shopping cart.
The parking lot's a gridlock
of parking spaces,
except the one that your car inhabits
(a bright yellow Hummer with the broken windshield).
All the residents of Scurvyville
are scared
to buy fruit from your warehouse
to curb their piratical plague.
Every morning
