violence is the answer

written on my Judas wrists

the disciples see

but don't tell on me

they have their own hidden things

silver in their pockets

Two Pints Down and Sleeping Pill

These fingers touch - let blessings be

For feelings rough in needing she

To break the being - so seeing through

The lesser deaths from coming true

Is bullet's breath exhaled upon

The temple's entrance - trigger drawn

Is rope well knotted - tightly spun

Support the body - throat well wrung

Is poison poured in champagne glass

Is all aligned for system's crash

Or just enough - tonight be made

The same cocktail - let visions fade

In whiskey scent - should all stand still

Just two pints down - and sleeping pill

lil stag beet on a log

I dream of you sleeping

in my bed I want you

to wake but you don't

so I sleep and dream

you're inside me somehow

a sleek expression catlike

pressed into my throat

but the wrong side

you know impossible

you say my back is rocky

like a mountain

I am afraid you'll find

my sadness

in its valleys.

A.F. Vandevorst installation for Arnhem Mode Biennale 2011

“A girl sleeping in a hospital bed in her A.F. Vandevorst dress. But here, the girl as well as the mattress and pillow are made out of candle wax. Once lit, what starts as a perfect image will slowly melt and perish during the biennale.”

repulsed and enchanted

i don't know if im a good person. if i am an attractive person, in whatever sense of the word. i linger far too long and i cling and forever mourn something far beyond my reach and i ache far too much and i leave claw marks on my skin in the night -

i worry what i'd do to a lover nowadays. for i latch tightly and leave quietly, for i show how ugly i am only when it is ending, when it is over, and when you pry.
