I saw Siouxsie Sioux being breast fed by Paris Hilton and felt reborn in the loving light of a higher power.
a whine more intoxicating
than the trash grapes of california
more hypnotising than a server warehouse
humming with sissy porn.
A hole subtley highlighted
by the fact that it's closed.
a romantic feeling for the shows
that replaced music videos
the shows that i never saw.
the beach trip we took online,
the surf breaking between our keys
bedroom recording in bedroom swimwear
we don't see the rain on the window,
because the curtains are closed
a song with more kindness
than desperation
but so much desperation
but so much desperation
but so much desperation
but so much
lets be friends,
i'll keep you in my headphones
and you'll never hear from me
I'll be good
and just quietly listen to you cry
I'll stare into your heart
like a whirring and fucked clock
and wish I could fix anything
but my hands are weakening
and you're actually oceans away
laughing but crying
but laughing but crying
but laughing
crying but laughing
but crying but laughing
but crying
thank you for being here with me
for letting me be here with you

she's just at work (online always.)
Like perpetually realising, as if for the first time, that the bartender you've been chatting to is not your friend, she's just at work (online always.)
I hope you're making your money
I hope you get everything you need
I hope the world finds you bathed in lilacs
I hope spiralling tendrils drip from your fingers
I hope you're found by the light of a low sun
reaching longingly for you through branches
you're easy to like because you're so far away
you're easy to like because you're always here
you're easy to like because you're impossible to read
you're easy to like because you're impossible to judge
you're easy to like because you know what you want
you're easy to like because you know who you are
I hope this is true for both of us
although I know in my heart it is not

When you post selfies it feels like I might die, but actually it's keeping me alive.
draped like calla lilies
across misaligned furniture
scattered from a crashing vase
this is how you lie here
on the glass in my hand
tears rising in me
like pin pricks to oil wells
rich and revolting
rising in me
how can I look at you
and not feel like i'm dying
to not feel so far from life
to see your face
is to imagine the night sky
while knowing i'm buried alive
but when you post your pictures
like calling cards at the station
i can hear the shovel
scraping through the stony earth
and i know you're digging me out.
you reach down and lift me up
you reach down and lift us up
you reach and reach and reach
until we might meet the sky together

trans lesbian pining memes
- Hey I really like you
- Wanna come over and make out
* cuts to world map *
You're oceans away
and the ocean hates us
but the ocean holds us.
I remember Penny said
"longing lasts longer"
and bitch, she wasn't wrong.
This distance won't kill us
before our poverty does.
Scraping by and
scraping off.
A curse on ever yacht
that didn't bring you here.
May they all be swallowed
by the water that joins us.
Lying in my bed,
remotely in your arms.
Arms I've never seen
but I feel all the time.
The dm's are folding space,
and here you are again.
yeah the ghosts are real,
and here you are again,
in the water that joins us.
- You're a tranny faggot.
- Bitch so are you.
* cuts to bedroom scene *

In case you don't come back, I'll miss you but I'm already glad you made it out.
I've seen your posts
at all hours
I've seen desperate messages
from a 3am
in a different
time zone
I don't have it in me
to do the maths
or the maps
or to know why am I here
reading
It sometimes feels
like everyone
is ready to give up
at once
like a fog of collapse
spilling over our timelines
You can't put your arms around a memory
and you can't put your arms around this either
don't try
don't try
don't try
I've seen nothing for months
I've seen your profile gone dark
And I've wondered.
and wondered.
is she gone for good
this time for good.
for good good
it got that bad
and then a picture
on another account
or a phone footage
music video
dirty snow on the ground
still somehow reaching
And I know you're still alive
And I know you're alive
you're alive
you're alive
you're alive
you're alive

Ignatz Höch & Hannah Mouse is the musical project of multi-functional artist Judy Moore. She is a twitching mass of asymmetrical insects and spray glue in the shape of a woman. She smells of White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor.
