Crush It.

Crush It.
by kalika

i hold violence in my hands so i can crush it.
like citrus in a damn Sunkist, 
i love it.
rinds of benevolence just can’t cut it.
can’t quit this; 
can’t rise above it,
cause the juice is worth the squeeze.
poisoned orange intravenously,
fruit of the poisonous tree;
peel back what’s inevitably 
flowing cold inside of me.
my anger chills righteously— 
hellish from the seventh to ninth zone.
so-da freeze’s frigid to the depths 
of my spinal bones 
close to my heart; 
can i kill the bicarbonate spark?
so-di-um salt tears can’t boil over 
as acid starts to depart, 
leaving a mark. 
like angry chem-trails grieving the sky;
sickening all that can’t bear to say goodbye.
pop another top, squash it with a sigh.
addicted to the misery, to the high—
to sugary sweet trickery,
and i don’t know why.

crush it.

i hold violence in my hands so i can crush it.

like citrus in a damn Sunkist,

i love it.

rinds of benevolence just can’t cut it.

can’t quit this;

can’t rise above it,

cause the juice is worth the squeeze.

poisoned orange intravenously,

fruit of the poisonous tree;

peel back what’s inevitably

flowing cold inside of me.

my anger chills righteously—

hellish from the seventh to ninth zone.

so-da freeze’s frigid to the depths

of my spinal bones

close to my heart;

can i kill the bicarbonate spark?

so-di-um salt tears can’t boil over

as acid starts to depart,

leaving a mark.

like angry chem-trails grieving the sky;

sickening all

that can’t bear to say goodbye.

pop another top, squash it with a sigh.

addicted to the misery, to the high—

to sugary sweet trickery,

and i don’t know why.

You Can Find Me

You Can Find Me

all the commentary’s unnecessary

when i walk with those not at rest;

so i sit at the cemetery

when i need to clear my head.

they say death is hereditary,

so i don’t fear my final breath.

there’s peace in being secretary

for the thoughts left by the dead.

you can find me laying by mounds

beside the freshly dug up dirt.

i’ll be listening to the sounds—

witnessing silence go unstirred.

i stare longingly up at the clouds

wondering why i’m still here on Earth.

this’ the place to bury all my doubts

to pack down all my fear and hurt.

your body is a revolution
eat you rich
call that carnal execution
Carnal Execution
by kalika

we got that mythic chemistry
once-in-a-lifetime
every memory is ecstasy 

together we make magic baby
head in heaven
you got me dreamin’ lately

I’ll drown your sorrows, unsung
my siren song
got you speakin’ in tongues

divine quake, watch you tremble
find solace in me
my body is a holy temple

somethin’ ‘bout my energy
treasured sacred
got that supernatural remedy

Carnal Execution

your body is a revolution

eat you rich

call that carnal execution

we got that mythic chemistry

once-in-a-lifetime

every memory is ecstasy

together we make magic baby

head in heaven

you got me dreamin’ lately

I’ll drown your sorrows, unsung

my siren song

got you speakin’ in tongues

divine quake, watch you tremble

find solace in me

my body is a holy temple

somethin’ ‘bout my energy

treasured sacred

got that supernatural remedy

Pensacola

a pen to hold us in the summertime

where nature speaks and colors rhyme

sunset reflections across the shoreline

a day well spent to restore my mind

holding onto vitamin D daydreams

while my joy basks in sun-ray beams

and peace blows in with the cool breeze

time froze the devil in the deep blue sea

the ebb and flow; matter in motion

feeling the sea swell as the wind’s blowing

the foamy glaze drifting across the ocean

chasing mole crabs as we’re beach combing

swimming below waves as they break

beach volleyball games well played

in red bikinis while drinking all day

a place far enough from home to escape

carrying sand between my naked toes

buried in the land of a world unknown

where water cools and the warm sun glows

there’s no better place I could’ve chose
