ghosts

I'm haunted by ghosts

these spectres I can't see

I hear them in the nighttime

whispering all kinds of things

But these companions are familiar 

so I listen carefully

I know they aren't strangers,

But Myself, I and Me.

coachella part 2

Is it the last day or the first? I'm sweaty, dirty. I can taste the grit in my teeth, feel the dust scratching my eyes. Nights of pulsing hues and forms from dancing worlds mesh with mine till we are one heaving, breathing, beautiful beast. And I want this forever. One day I will join you all on stage, a surgeon possessed, medicating you thirsty animals with my saccharine tonic. Stay thirsty, it won't be long.

coachella part 1

Lights fight for my attention, an acid rain of lasers washing over me, pinching my pupils, hypnotising me with sensory overload. Music courses through my veins, my heart pumping a rhythm in time with this insanity, this energetic monster, this freight train. The pace quickens, and I rush to meet it. From so far away on that nebulous cloud, it comes faster and faster, a quickening I could never be ready for. And at this moment the explosion occurs- first my eyes, a burning screaming banshee trying to get out. I squeeze them tight and she travels to my chest, caged, fighting for a way out. And this prisoner incarcerated within this bony cell will not rest.

keyhole

There's a keyhole inside my head, I've always wanted to turn the key, hear that metal click unlock, push that heavy door open and see what's on the other side. Maybe one day I will.
