I’ll Cleanse the Bastard’s Curse

you got a bitch
fishing their pockets
for quarters

look over your shoulders
next time you come through here…
it won’t be safe

don’t panic
when you see them file in
keep eye contact
and whatever you do
don’t flinch
move towards
the nearest exit
in a timely fashion
and don’t wait
for someone
to say
something

i heard the sky is scheduled
for routine maintenance soon
and that means
lights out
until sunday

another from our little bird:
nobody knows which came first
but chickens were a mistake

don’t worry about
walking on eggshells
that’s just how it is here

any second and it’s lights out
where we are now
is lost foundation
based on circumstantial hearsay
we waived the right
to remain consistent
if only someone
would have listened

jd jurado-This poem is about everyday uncertainty.

I USED TO BURN BRIDGES, NOW I JUST VICTIMIZE PEOPLE SO THEY’LL LEAVE ME ALONE

overwrought with despair—

here’s my pink slip

never wanted to be here

every weekend

i used to be depressed

now i’m just

peachy

ignored all my friends for weeks

now they ghost me

what’s your secret

to being happy?

i was bargain bin trash

up until you found me

i know that sounds weird

but you really saved me

when…

and how did we connect?

and how could i find time

when we’re always

so busy?

and how did everything

get so shitty?

and if i had a second chance

i’d do it all again

all i do is waste time

how could i make amends?

jd jurado – Poem is about falling out of touch with your friends.

Glint

my ego as an egg
over easy
glistens yellow
yolk
breaks even
in spite of this
is eaten

my brain as a bishop
skirts
diagonal
passive battles
disinterest
keeps me
between tiles

my words
sharp tools
hardest bars
fall apart
you’ll see
when you catch that glimmer
know that’s me

jd jurado-Glint is about not being yourself all the time

Foxtrot

girl alone together boy
nothing
as good as
being enjoyed

has no qualms
exhumes his palms
unwieldy and thinly-veiled
knows who
he isn’t

burning
is not a sensation
i am familiar with

not at all

she breathes smoke
with the temperance of a dragon
and she has no eyes
behind her breathing eyelids

all she has is touch
and she can feel nothing

playful souls
smoldering wistfully away
burns without passion
overrated
no flames

jd-jurado Foxtrot is a poem about lust without love

Final Boss Entering Its Second Phase

i know i must have been here before
on the verge of
dying of boredom

sweet is as sweet does
abstains from each and every one
all of them
sickly ascetic
don’t touch me
your friends are all septic

we invested in new things
hazmat to peruse please
more basic than toxic
more optic than caustic
leave me on read and you’re dropped sis
i just want to fuck cause i’m honest

so out of touch
call me amish
1up your man
that’s a promise
cut me some FLAC
gimme lossless
catch these hands then connect to this node fam

just call me SHODAN
welcome to sodom
best be along, chum
the scourge has awoken
your people are cursed ones
feeble deception—
never correct ‘em
lead ‘em til kid draws slow on they weapon

then i tag ‘em
cause i’m veteran
reality’s always a headache
flexing on pests is a habit
call me hammerhead
cause i nail ‘em
when i bag chumps
that’s excedrin

Comment section is below. Please leave me a reply. I need some love.

jd jurado- The main speaker of the poem is a braggadocio who has come back from the dead.

Empath Fatigue

fairy fake empathy — Photo by Tu00fa Nguyu1ec5n on Pexels.com

i got what i wanted
now i wish i didn’t have it
raised to be rotten
risqué mister maverick

opaque sadist
samey when sedated
taken with the lumps
inside of gilded cages

quick and painless
prairie dog princess
aegis was a fake
so all your bark is forfeit

torque spit
cork it
make a body worthless
fork it over
so i can snap its halo

lay low
ankle biters stick to pay-phones
stake more
hate me
i’ll blow up if you say so

jd-jurado – Empath Fatigue is about someone pretending to have empathy for other people

Editor

Time capsule — Photo by Jordan Benton on Pexels.com

molten avarice denies
sacred liaison
revise
within my bosom lies
courage conjured from a lie

bicker
ticker
static
broken jack-in-a-box of magic
creates
conflates
retracted
world tour de force of habit

i made up with your atlas
the world is ours
at last

i forced us to relapse
because i couldn’t put the past behind us
now everything i see
reminds me
of a hundred better things

jd-jurado – Editor is about revising the past by reinterpreting instead of rewriting it or forgetting it.

Dysphoria

starve on me
forget my taste
until i wring from you
every last
morsel of malaise

i am the mouth at your center
gnawing your guts
irrevocable itch
streaking charcoal when touched

your body is a battlefield
your mars
are mine
every last scrape
is a lattice
all lines
parallel
precious
perfect
symmetric

and when i said i wanted you to bleed
i meant it

jd-jurado – Dysphoria is about recognizing pain as concrete, not abstract.

dys·pho·ri·a

/disˈfôrēə/

noun

PSYCHIATRY

a state of unease or generalized dissatisfaction with life.

“adolescents with depression, dysphoria, mania, and anxiety disorders

Dream Snatcher

womens eyes poetry — Photo by Ismael Sanchez on Pexels.com

forgot
how i could
touch someone’s heart the wrong way
and break it in half

it’s good for a laugh
until you know where that path leads you
and how many people you fuck up
worse than yourself

i’m type-O hell
with my old me
but i break pieces off
for the so-sos
and the no-shows
because i don’t know
how else
to communicate
that being your new self
is a hard sell

i see right through your petty eyes
ignoble crusades
and shallow disguises
the way your words deflate
when you can’t relate
and for naught
i caught the feelings you forged
(but your ideals are still boring)
and i get over colds just as quickly
still nothing sticks

i’ve come to grips with the listlessness
but i’ve got a hit list
of every two-faced pincushion
trying to get their claws in my seams
for even a minute

i don’t deserve it
i stitch the stigmas
and get on with it
and i move on
because i’m bad at being honest

JD-Jurado – This poem is about trying to be honest.

ig·no·ble

adjective

“ignoble feelings of intense jealousy”

Damn, Bitch, I Live?

Medusa Greek Mythology — Photo by Rebel6

we will live forever
in the haze of better days
inside the tallest high rise
in buildings frozen gray

effete in our pointless pandering
the likes of which
allows us exist
menial
as we are
where we belong

secondhand
sedation
inebriation defeats us
stupefied forever
gaze into
medusa
serpentine seducer
replete with kinesthesia
never felt
so myself
until i gave my mind up

JD-Jurado- This poem is about ennui.

ef·fete- /əˈfēt/

adjective

no longer capable of effective action. “the authority of an effete aristocracy began to dwindle”
