House-guest, House-keeper

There is the scratch, scritch-scratch Of bristles on the hardwood floor From where she's been sweeping at your tears. You're leaving water marks on her tables, Rings around cups, collars, eyes. She's kept quiet, content enough To piece together your broken heart, Like mother's rare china through slick hands - But the only designs in this red are from the hairline cracks Always healing, always resealing. You lie on her couch, to the wall, to her face, You curl as though the hearth had been the womb. She passes her worry by filling your stomach and your mind With ease.

Swallowing Ashes

There is the thump thump beating somewhere I cannot hear your footsteps without these drums, crushing the world all around me I am encased in darkness Dripping down Leaving a trail of droplets to you Tasting each one swallowed by the dirt Swallowed by you Above, the drum drum birds call out some saint's name Praying like my father once taught me to It's his voice I hear when you call my name A voice so tinned and distorted Far, far away The drumming slamming darkness dripping and encasing Numbing me against the slam slam trees, Running to me, Tripping me, Delaying me Soaking up this blood This darkness all around Pouring it

How are you feeling today? Ocarina of Time - Serenade of Water Calm, but wanting to be somewhere else, learning something new. Hmm. Will you get far in life? Final Fantasy VI - Coin Song Well, it all depends. I'll either be the king or the hermit, but it's up to either fate or a rigged coin toss. How do your friends see you? LousySpy - Neoteric Assembly - Remix of a track from Final Fantasy VII It's from the Reunion track. It has upbeat guitars, and a bit of a trance mix to it, but you can still hear the original, somewhat melancholy track underneath. So, um, my friends see me occasionally, are surprised and overjoyed at first, but
