18”x18”x30”
ceramic, iron oxide, steel, chain, quick links, soy wax candles (and their remnants), fire, poem, performance
Flesh is my least favorite chore
Debris gets drawn in too easily
i wish it could be Someone Else’s responsibility
Stainless steel feels inhuman feels like
me
Strip and search my body
Like a curiosity in a cabinet
Your pupils open to prey
Make a spectacle of my
Intimacy
Penetrable peephole
Reveals a refracted silhouette
A summation of skin
i feel myself
slipping
Sinking into fiberglass
Falling out the faucet
Leaking is so cathartic
Inanimacy is so desirable
So easy
i pretend like last year didn't happen
And next year ill try to forget today
Memory collects like dust
i despise the dinginess of antiquity
im dirty
Maybe ill be more myself
If i evaporate
my favorite sport is blood
my favorite sport is water
Am i vulnerable enough yet?
Put the condom on
i can see the mildew forming on Your flesh
You haven't been cleaned in weeks
Forgetfulness is foreign to me
i would make sure You sparkle
If You didn't already smell like shit
Wax in water
Rind rots away
Pressure washer abrasion
Each minute worn down by friction
Stuck in a cyclical suicide
Wet specimen sanctity
Don't fucking tap the glass!!!!
Aquatex anxiety
You never even
Look at me
Pantomime patina
Plaster on my body
Everyday
Same thing
i just want it to be over with
