#SeeThroughMyFilter
Above my right eyebrow
there's a scar
From the day after Four Years of
ignorance or innocence
I discovered the death of my favorite dog.
And all around my arms
like everywhere I felt that boy's
embrace under the stars, there's a burn.
He was warm -like a damn warning-
but now the dangerous heat is left a cold burn.
And we stared up at the stars, so ugly and out of line they were,
and the worst part is he never proved me wrong.
'Shit" at the spill of my textbooks
but my stories hit the ground --
without any sound. ---
but a frantic scope
and a darting scuffle.
These pages are the moles and zits and pocmarks that I filter with
silence.
Every broken tone of my voice confined to the car windows or
shower pallets.
I suffer with myself and of my makeup, using the
song lines of eyeliner
to make my glamorous appeal.
And when the fleshy words fit together
with the skelatal metaphor bones
It all just composes the organ like some disease repeating:
Maybe I Was Meant To Be Alone.
Because maybe MacKenzie's a bitch!
but maybe cussing's overrated
And All She Really Is
is a Defragmented Poison,
a Jealous Concept, But Jealousy is my game.
Maybe "bitch" is a filter.
And all who exert power are the most afraid.
Easy Words like, uhm, a bridge above the muddle, or something like that, you know.
and Song eyeLiner and maroon films of defragmentation, dilution,
are sheilds of a 17 year old boy's snarl
or clan of girl's gossip.
But my best foundation is silence.
