For your throne I tread with you

The sun was now setting,
And they were looking
For redemption
At the old end of the rainbow.
There is no redemption,
And there is no end of the rainbow.
Move on.
What is this life we are thrust into?
Move on.
You will wander forever,
Crushing your own bones to dust,
No matter what end you seek,
No matter how ceaselessly you tread.

Dumpling makers

Behind glass
Black and brown dumpling maker
Invisible chains puppeteer your motions
White and yellow dumpling maker
A owners awkward smile your soul feels empty
A signs says "No pictures"
Unbearable shame for masters and slaves
A signs says "No pictures"
The maddening gaze of the animal audience
A signs says "No pictures"
We have made a zoo here
And these dumplings are made of people

[Nunki]

I have published some writing on the internet, including a philosophical essay, two in-progress books, and a short story. They can be read here: https://www.booksie.com/portfolio-vi...-245008/page-1

Wanderer in the Sky

Do you know the story of Adam and Eve
If you have heard it
I'm sad to say words decieve
The apple core left mangled and bit

Was a story of a wanderer in the sky
Saw Eve in the field
Washing her hair letting it dry
Fell in love the wanderer was reeled

He perched himself on a tree
A fruit of knowledge plucked and polished
To set her heart free
A gift wrapped and relished

She took the gift wonderful and pleasant
Brought to Adam a present
They cleaved the flesh in two
And ate generously entwined

Wanderer from the sky saw a beautiful feast
And leaped away mourning
Knowing impossibile love, the mark of the beast
A star sinking on the morning

[Kalinoche the Child]

Do you have
Do you have
What it takes to
To make a new person?
To not be sought after
Yet be in peace
And why
Why do you think
You need to
you?

[Adam Strange]

OK, I'll share, too:

"To keep your disposition shiny, keep your expectations tiny."

Lol.

I'M LOST, I'M LOST, I'M LOST.


I NEED MY COMPASS,
YOU CAN HELP ME NAVIGATE.


BUT YOU JUST THROW ME OVERBOARD.


I'M LOST, I'M LOST, I'M LOST.


I NEVER KNOW THE TIME.


I'M NOT GUILTY WHEN LOST.
I DON'T HAVE A CRIME.

what i now hold in my breath is poised, a leaf trembling in the wind, the feeling of static sizzling between your fingers and the doorknob - you don't know it's there until you feel it, and then you wonder how you hadn't noticed it before. what i hold on my tongue is venom, and i hold it there precariously. i dare not attack - my own venom is poisonous to my soul. my own words, which twist and turn like a boomerang as sharp as all the hurt that has been festering inside me; if i throw it, it will come back. it always comes back: to haunt, laugh echoing in the confines of my spirit, cackling voice taunting me until i break under its weight, never bending. the only way to keep myself from throwing is to lodge the sharp end deep inside my heart; to let it break my ribs, pierce my lungs and make my breath hitch as the rhythm stops. then rip it back out and let the floodgates open, blood pulsing out: i am angry, angry and thunderous and you have done this and still, i have decided not to hurt you. i am better - and let the knowledge that i have been merciful haunt you instead.

the river
you heard a sound in the forest
and had to protect me
you heard a siren in /the river/
and had to leave me


nights and days spinning in
the river


the castle
its walls branch out like a snowflake
but the people
they're all that's stuck to us


knights and dames spinning in
the river


the river the river the river

[Grendel]

I tried
So hard
To play it by the book
Shut out the voice, so I could be
The unassuming tool
But now
I wake
And everywhere I look,
All the land is burned, and the world's gone cruel

Life, it gives us just one shot
To rise above the night,
But when we falter, future turns
To endless fight or flight
Lifetimes of fear, this hell inside,
My hopes and dreams have bled and died
This toll I can't repay,
But tonight,
I wipe this world away


I'm the dragon ablaze,
In hellfire and fury, at terminal velocity
Swell in the pain,
Taking everyone with me, a smiling ending
To a life that was a joke,
And when you're born so broke,
The Void's a friend close to your heart
Tonight, I go back home,
And I just can't wait,
I can't wait for the end to start

When you've murdered something beautiful,
There's nothing left to say,
And nothing that you do about it
Will ever make me stay
No reason to be here,
And I'm not real,
In love with all this hate I feel
Tonight, I take them with me,
And I just can't wait,
Can't wait for the end to start


It feels so wrong to let it all go sometimes
So strange how we're born to chase down pain
But year by year, it's added up
I won't slow down, I cannot stop
Lip-kiss the Void,
And I'll see you there


We crawl in twilight,
Miscarried dreams,
A dawn that's tearing at the seams
We dangle by a horsehair from
The edge of our small world
So no more building castles; I will not be fooled again
Lip-kiss the Void,
It fills my soul with warmth

Soylent Banana and Soylent Truffle are people!

Wu Kong (無 空)

I am disgusted by your disgust
I will steal your jouissance
My body made five fold immortal
My stick brings the night a havoc
Your heavens tremble and split
Your nirvana I shall shatter
I grasp your 72 transformations
I burn your books with my name
I eat your peaches in your garden
I drink your forbidden wine
We merge our pills into one
We realize we are not empty

Praise the Internet

Praise the Internet
Realm of light blue as sky
Source of ethereal song
Space of connection omnipresent
Of peace in Discord
Of all worldly knowledge
Book of all our lives' Googols
Book of all our Faces
Language of the Tweeters
And all Instant Grams
Green as a Bit's Coin
Lush primordial Amazon
Four corners of creation
Surfing immaterial
Web which spans the world
Ever live Cyberspace
Every place which is no place

Kill your father and fuck your mother,
Just not literally. It's my problem-free
Philosophy.

Pushkin really paid the bills
Shakespeare shook a spear
Schiller found some shillings more
Basho wasn't here

The Bourgeoisie

The Bourgeoisie got a job
They got a job but no money
The money is in the bank account
Time is not worth money
The money sits in the bank account
They try to pass the time
They never spend any of the money
The job goes on for years more
They have to leave their job
They try and can't take the money
It wasn't much anyways
At least the job is over
