1st sept 2025. diary entry.
I have this creature lodged beneath the surface of my skin. It calls me to peel back the layers and inspect it every so often. It doesn’t all have to be so evil, I tell it, but my secret friend is mean and he bites. So, every so often, I burn holes in my skin to release the smoke from my bones. My skeleton is finite like coal, the dark ash burns my eyes and stains the skin of those I touch. I am commanded to lay down, bathe in my linen sheets, protect others from the boils. A weary body can only handle so much, so my mind encased in resin. In times like these, glossy eyes and cold extremities greet those who observe my rotten flesh. It’s hard to not rely on habits like these, I remember when I was a kid, in the worst moments, I would disappear into myself. The TV would whizz miles and miles and miles away while I lay down, closed my eyes, and placed my consciousness in my eardrums. Now, when I walk, my feet often miss the floor, and I hear things at a slight delay. Meditating to that familiar feeling, a domineering mind drags me through the days, and I relax in its grip. Lying in pools of myself is quite a luxury: somewhere along the way, watching my body fizzle into the ground became erotic. I watch myself have sex in the mirror, I scream and become someone else, I eat my fingernails, throw them up, surround myself with stick figures so I can focus on my gluttonous misery. Often, the realisation strikes that I enjoy the feeling of rain on my skin, not just the sound it makes on my windows. This comfort can be as fleeting as a raindrop, but it hits me like a storm when surrounded with those who see my body for what it is and navigate it gently. Right now, I’m alone for the first time in days, so I’m standing in the hot sun watching my skin turn pink. As my thoughts become meandering and endless, I decide to swim in the ocean rather than rub sand into my skin. I’m in Portugal, an old global power. I climb old hills. Vices, I shoot at them from the top of a castle, enemies climbing my long locks. Although it has become easier to ignore the fight and enjoy the view, I would still get cold at nighttime without my inorganic, molten bones. 21st-ish aug 25. raspberry shampoo
in the dark, no responses i have conversations with moths and monsters and all of god's creations who take my shorts through thread i'm eaten but tired i'm not they relinquish my blood it doesn't hurt metal tastes like luck smell sweet, attract bugs a piece of meat with sharp lungs 17th-ish aug 25 bugs poem no1 (ag cook mention)
a hole has been dug i fall so easy colonies of bugs drink blood so needy moths, light, blind luck through clothes they wont hear me /////////////////////////// rolling on gothic appetites sweet juiced labour a soft stone embrace artery walls shimmer bone hands, a sacrifice no play or sticky fingers eyes feel no light warm bodies must linger i wrote this about a girl who didnt want me back (weird)

Rough translation: The days in the dew Your months in the deadly heat Do you remember the nights There was a real white moon And a sky as dark as a sky can be Even when I was tumbling through a cave I could feel your wisdom in front of me Maybe I heard your voice Or a stone kicking a rock It wouldn’t make any difference to me |
