somehow tha<\/i><\/span>t means something to you all here in this place. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

This ain\u2019t your house,\u00a0 aint\u2019 your house. Never forget. You don’t belong here.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Framing crimes with projections, <\/span>unable to jail the anxiety <\/span>of me. <\/span><\/p>\n

This blemished covering i<\/span>s brown in spots, <\/span>yes, but solid<\/span>. Split open: <\/span><\/p>\n

Pomegranate \u2013<\/span>an innocent surprise<\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n

The seeds floating in<\/span> blood-red peace,\u00a0<\/span>a delight, forgiving:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

the ultimate lightness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Evil words with wings crown my head, a junkie\u2019s racetrack.\u00a0They scoop down and peck at rage, bitter dark.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Enough is enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rantings.\u00a0 I won’t give u<\/span>p chilled luxury for you.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

I push this restraint off of me\u00a0<\/span>and onto you where it belongs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Photos of <\/span>your mother, sweet <\/span>one, one who died, one c<\/span>alled an alcoholic. Batting my <\/span>eyes, I shame you.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Your siren <\/span>is silenced.<\/span><\/p>\n
