excerpt from the war is a white noise machine trilogy

the war is a white noise machine trilogy is a series of three poems that explores the nature of toxic relationships


cold war countdown

five.

gettysburg; four score and seven years ago, we didn’t exist but god knew we would end up like this: anonymous casualties, another pair of lovers lost to a faulty metaphor about how love is war. you’re an experienced general at the top of your field, mastermind at this sort of game, and i’m greener than the day is long. 

four.

somme; oh, we tried. we fought and we fought and we fought only to lose, gathering a million invisible scars along the the lines where our hands set off dynamite. 

we fought and fought and fought only to ever only to lose hope of v-day. this is what happens when love leaves you gagged with a chloroform rag.

three. 

tet offensive; we’re officially a quagmire.
i don’t know how to back out without you breaking your napalm heart.
i can’t handle another explosion.

two. 

normandy; you keep begging me not to leave. you need me like a commander needs a soldier, someone to order around, someone to keep down, someone to parade to show how high you’ve risen. you collect soldier-girls like babushka dolls. 

i can’t anymore. loving you is like trusting an execution squad. 

one. 

this is a tribute to the unsung battles: disease. 
the way it ravages the battlefield that is my body is unique. 

your poison filters its way through my spirit like absinthe through my liver, but i’m thinking about a different kind of consumption babe. something more along the lines of tuberculosis, something that can explain why i still dream of your cholera kisses. 

disease is the one true equalizer. 
generals die of plague, just like their babushka dolls.

lucky i believe in vaccines.

we should end with a bang, bang, bang, or a boom, boom, boom… with something. 
but love is war is a charlatan’s truth
i’m waving the white flag
surrender.
