writing verses
sleep. black liner circles
the eyes
the one who sings
cannot speak
everyone come to the center
soft body contact
the lyrics
the breath
the hearts
the beat
#katyamills
live
death was
weightlessness
unpacking all
the bad karma you
accumulated against
the good
life was juicy
a study in animation
test flight of the soul
not to demonize
dying

music.a
when the pulse is heavy and slow
when you could sleep a million years
thoughts cannot find a flow
too tired for tears. let the music
touch you #katyamills

life in slo.mo
oil on the chain balance the wheels
riding they bike round town real slow
the day long timing the lights just right
you see memories of poverty not all
bad the simple things all
they had #katyamills

deseo
breaks away like a tormented soul
within the heart of a wild horse i
talk to it carefully like a child
honestly. you cannot have we
cannot afford it. here. come with me
let's go outside and run. maybe
make friends. we cannot
have and better without

hiding under blankets
listen to momma liquefy
oats ice bananas
green and brown eyes with
coffee spaced out super
perdidos obsessed by
birds #katyamills

safeways
some beet faced drunk knocked
produce off the stand
dodging shadows stepped
on garlic cloves
the masks had just come off
that sound
the flesh breaking under
paper skins
you paid me a compliment
i - i wasnt sure i
could take it #katyamills

they (don't) care
they don't care
what you may think or say or
feel. find something you love
put your heart in it and
never give up

no.20
like a secret
in the nucleus
of the yolk
of the eye
we defy analytics
science
religion
sharpened by
the guarantee of
annihilation
unwilling
to be dulled
by screens
technology or
tradition

cat and bird
blondy and the black cat
brothers contemplative for hours
on this high balcony
only a mouth
full of feathers
will end the procession
of cans

some kids
like frozen planets they
lived long in darkness with space
they fell into orbit waiting
for the sun to inhabit
they potential. centuries
away long since learned the art of solitude
to free up they water
and colors

miscast
growing up in new england they
was a gale wind pushing
they voice through cracks in the mortar
wailing. no such tolerance
like everyone pulled together for
all kinds of weather
you got miscast who
would fight for you? thrown on stage
good luck remembering
your lines #katyamills

heavy metals
dissociative
staring at the wall again
they turned up the volume
zero calorie heavy
metals to defend against they
demons

Bukowski's wife
she waited for him to get that out of his system
being loved being celebrated by the world
for his poems. finally. all the other women came and went
she could just as easily have felt scorned she
coulda chose not to be born she
got brave and some say stupid she loved him
for the rest of his days #katyamills

they called you a loner they
thought of you

given to seek
solitude

pack of cigs
traded away the shit you no longer
need dull knives old clothes
the speed. diabetes wanted your
eyes. smoke breaks upcycled into meditation
shadows given the light treatment they
could not take your vision
#katyamills
pen.cil
took the words from the margins
boiled them down and drank they
essence. lead from the pencil
kinda killed but worth every
swallow #katyamills

before life
before life
they found refuge in film and music and books
withdrawn from the world
dreaming
scared
when they awoke
living became the premier
entertainment

dis.cords
moving towards
on phones with cords we
wanna be okay but we
not
mobile hotspots
hooked up with all the bars
then out of touch
again. traveling up the stitchwork
of our scars
umbilical we anticipate
gettin cut

4:44
the call came in at 444
half the way out the door they
answered in a rainbow frame of mind
happier than hell 4 the big gruff voice
underneath it all someone cared
they still cursed him out
for insulting they friend
he apologized from the top of cloud

like pressure makes diamonds
up all night i remember us
survival turns seconds into minutes
sealed inside like pressure creates
an equilibrium by which we
can roll. time got nothing on us
the city still and quiet makes
diamonds. we meet in the park after
dawn #katyamills
