Title
I want to be a writer someday.
Bio
31, I love pitbulls and kittens. Rats are another favorite. Bukowski and Baldwin...good or bad, i love people's teeth. Always loved taxidermy, long as they weren't hunted. I want a thousand books, a house in Istanbul and half a dozen stuffed cats (once they finally leave). Tattooed nearly ten years, and now, maybe, I don't like it... Trying to get the crazies out of my head. I feel somewhere in between a wreckless hobo and a vunerable little girl...and I want to be a writer someday.

I Should've Said So Much More.

Oh god,
What I would've done differently...
I would've learned to hug you
even in awkward moments
when one
or both of us
held on to having
too much pride.
I would've recognized
your sincere pleas
and devotion
your undying love for all
of us.
Your shame and regret.
I would've made my forgiveness
more obvious.
And… Read full post »

Where is the ritual
And tell me where where is the taste
Where is the sacrifice
And tell me where where is the faith
Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
When they find a cure for pain
Where is the cave
Where the wise woman went
And tell me where
Where's all… Read full post »

They Did Not Play This At the Wake

For a whileI sat there staring at the photographFor a whileI cried and tried not to make a sceneThere was a time,when we were youngI used to make her laughBut life is long,my love has gone away from me

Elliott Smith:Activity's killing the actor

And the cop's standing out in the road
Turning traffic away
There was nothing she could do until after
When his body'd been buried below
Way back in the day
Oh my, nothing else could have been done
He made his life a lie so
He might never have to know anyone
Made hi… Read full post »

Julie

This is actually written by my dad. None of us knew he was a writer.
 
 Julie
 
Our embrace set afire by
My overwhelming love
I am small and humbled 
 
Your brown eyes envelope me
Caressing my soul
Filling my spirit
 
I see you still

How Dare You, Treesh...

My mother is dead and this ignorant bitch has the audacity to send me this comment:

 

"Heaven? Hardly.

I'm sorry for your loss, but your mother was reckless, ignorant and evil for her entire adult life. She will spend eternity in a much warmer clime." Read full post »

Julie Kiernan's Gone to Heaven

Sadly, my mother passed away late afternoon yesterday.

December 17th, 2011.

I still have a hard time believing this.

She was my best friend.

And she was sick--yes.

But,  I have seen that stubborn old soul

recover from many, many things.

Why didn't she hint to me

that she was… Read full post »

there's something nice
about watching
another creature
enjoy it's food,
even if
you deny yourself
the same privilege.
For a moment,
maybe,
you feel giving
and you forget
that you hate yourself.

High Coin



I was wondering if you ever listen to songs on repeat.
I do this to the point of being annoying.
Woodpile don't read my shit.
It seems impossible,
but I believe if he were patient enough
he would get my language.
I know he has the ability,
but don't get it yet;
Why he doesn't see IT??

How wreckless

how wreckless

how cruel

how incoherant 

how awful.

it always ends up the same

yet another cowardly

and smart man

running for his life.

i look like shit.

i am quiet, for once.

Now what to say?

He very blatantly admits

to feeling no more.

His honesty is believable

and disheartening.… Read full post »

Yet Again.

Woodpile no longer loves me.
Has not been in love in a few months.
What could be crueler?
Pretending to be in love
to keep the other quiet.
Let's me sell my car,
become reliant on him,
and then
pulls a rug
straight out from under my feet.
I think I may have
seriously fucked up my ankle last… Read full post »

Every Wicked October

The inner turmoil does not relent.
I know people think that i look like
I must like halloween
or even be one of it's founders,
but that has never been the case...


I remember, cleary,
a few years ago,
I was two days fresh out of detox...
I took my grown autistic brother  and the dog
begging for candy.

Grey

Needy.

I am needy and I deserve to die.

My depression

is driving everyone away from me.

I don't know why

I can't enjoy things--

act normal--

or be this way,

but it is, again,

creating quite the barrier

between

me and them.

I smile

and hide.

Shitty Shitty Fuck Fuck

Insomnia now.

Fucking website.

I just lost a whole post.

This work is heartwrenching to no avail.

I was speaking of

a rich lover I had captured

who lived in New York

and was convinced I had bedbugs.

Growing up filthy,

I found this offensive.

Checked under my mattress, at his… Read full post »

Fuck Me Again

"God, I'm at the bottom of my life."

(No cause for alarm.)

I don't love me,

he don't love me

and i desperately need someone to talk to.

No one listens to me.

I need to be on the verge of suicide

in order for someone to listen.

Maybe I whine… Read full post »

I Usually Don't Like Noodles

Stupid me.

So desparately sad

and trying so hard to act normal.

I dont know which me i hate more.

I have watched

all of those 

who had faith in me

become distant.

It's embarrassing but what am I to do about it now?

My love now,

*Hmph*

Nobody home.

(Up there).

Don't look at me.

Don't see me.

Don't see me?

Pretend and listen.

I suffer and wait

because I believe 

I will eventually 

be rewarded.

Have a reason

for all of this grief.

I am ungrateful

much of time...

hoping to expire.

Poor Suffering Fucks

Does anyone believe in God??

I want to...

but, I must admit,

I don't notice Him often.

I look

urgently.

Always some sort of

Looking for
