Mars Is Out Tonight-(Khristian Van Volkenburg, Lafayette, LA)


Speak spoke
all it is is air
All it is is air
Thoughts brought
Thinking I forgot
Forgot that I thought
Found sound
Lost and safe
Safely lost
Safe to assume
I think therefore
im doomed
agrath swoons
she wants play
rope and knife
life in dismay
stuck in bed
night and day
the flesh its weak
but my spirits away
muffled murmured speak
as the noise seems to say
I have you now
Youre mine to stay
darkness here
her figures taught
indulgence arrives
and hope is lost
but oh
shes so pretty
when shes prey
bones on fire
when they exhaust
the cracks confirm
what ive thought
but since when
do I listen anyway
{helplessly romantic but hopeful I say
overcast melancholic stormy
but the most beautiful day}X2 ) X2
(jesus loves me this I know
but what the hell am I even sayin
he forgives but Ive already forgot
and now im at a soiree with satan) X2
Speak spoke
all it is is air
All it is is air
Thoughts brought
Thinking I forgot
Forgot that I thought
Found sound
Lost and safe
Safely
Safe to assume
I think therefore
im doomed

Nobody Said There'd Be a Day Like This (Sam Ray - New Orleans, LA)

  I know how this should be:  I've seen it, you see, In soap operas, Movies. Your eyes are closed, As if in sleep. Perfect peachy skin Atop a snow white pillow  Under flawlessly matched sheets. The heart monitor, Quiet bleeps. The ventilator, A steady hiss. None of that is this. Your eyes Stuck open  Seeing without sight Yellow sclera Dumb tears streaming. Tubes, taped to your face  Delicate skin torn Where nurses Repositioned them  To feed you To heal you You never liked being told What to do. Your whole torso spasms Spastic, Every 40 seconds. A machine  Forces your lungs to act. Your hands are warm From hemodialysis  But don't respond  When we each grab one Give it a kiss. We spend the day  Brushing your hair  Telling stories  Singing  songs. Praying prayers. You're not there. Hospital staff Are more lovely  If less pretty  Than on TV. When the time comes  They gently walk us From the room Close the curtai...
