Dive Dial Bowl ( 28 -11 – 18)

Washing mad rags in a conscious stream

Drifting. Corrupting.

Beneath the branches of a poison tree

Growing in Marian's garden

Over the corpse of the child she loved too much to let go

Fill the bowl with my tears

Birds sing overhead

Frogs croak from reeds

Clouds drift lazily

Unseen woodland creatures go about their business

The world revolves without me

Everyone seems to be happy without me

All I ever do is hurt them

How much can one-person cry?

Is this pain worth it?

If I could turn back the clock

Would I dial a phone, to find no one home?

In this day and age, leave me on read

Tear out my heart with your bare hands

Stomp on it, until its flat

Leave me in the rain

To rust away

Keep me under the bed

Tear out my eyes

My stuffing

My heart

Stitch on button eyes

A patch from a forgotten lover

A melancholy melody

The symphony of solitude

Grasshoppers playing their legs, like violins

Blood like lady bugs

Room filling with a cacophony

Screaming and crying

Laughing and dying

Dive right in, Alice

This party was meant for two

Hit me like an iceberg

Leave me on the ocean floor

How about a slice of cake?

Is your mouth too full of lies?

Perhaps you should stop sleeping with all those guys

Here is a better idea

Strip me off

Hang me up

Cut me

Beat me

Package me

Like a piece of meat

Voodoo dolly

Who would ever know?

I was the person who made you who you are today

Who picked you up when you fell?

Who wiped your every tear?

Put me in your pocket

Keep me near your heart

Limbs full of straw

Maggots between the ears

A void where my heart should be

Come Alice, it has been a while

Tell me how you've been

How do you like the cake?

I made it with a special blend of poison

Your favourite

That you buried me with, in this world of our creation
