  1. 2 kinds of people

    It was only a matter of time. The heat was making people explode. There is no such thing as climate change. There was, however, a vast number of people who simply exploded nothing to be done. Clean it up, and going forward. The Authority tended to see us as Trouble


  2. I Love Anons. Why AreThey So Often Snowflakes.


  3. Lost In Your Head Again

    The Keeper of the keys.


  4. And Edges of the Zero Gate

    The dismal sky burns the tongues with scorn. Languages. Never savage chaos as it walks the moon beach shore. Coiling in the darkness, it was like remembering our cells of faint shadows and it’s time to go. Any whore will get it. You and I both know.   


  5. Sail On Till You’re Gone

    Another stake to claim your planet on the ground.


  6. Why Are You Here

    these colors not too unlike a mountain lion stretched out hot with yellow eyes upon a rock where the sun spills in


  7. In the long Run, the Desert Will Win

    Tim Barrus, New York Times I am a communist. I get graphs. Since I am poor, and live on $200.00 a month (I am writing this on a borrowed phone in a borrowed tent in pouring rain), I get the hatred. Of the poor. The rich have nothing to fear.


  8. All My Lovers Sleep in Shrouds

    All of this is up for grabs. This is not the world I live in. It is the world I live with. I would like to say side by side. But it would just be another lie. Disengenuous. You would find the place I am in at the moment as…


  9. they say your entire life flashes

    this


  10. Blond Photographer


  11. shadows are ubiquitous


  12. Go Buy a Gun

    They kept beating him up. I tried to listen to it. Complain. But I became impatient because there was little fighting back. They had broken him. I gave him my Police.38. “I’m tired of hearing about it. Do something. You are dangerous. Because we are all dangerous.”


  13. prettypink hoodiehoodie

    Before covid. After covid. Polemic. Both times. Poisonous as a rabid porcupine.


  14. beach whiskey


  15. you flew out of my mouth

    you flew out of my mouth and spilled look at mine/ your balls of enamel murdered by the sky, the aegean blue as prison/ when you came apart, it was in threads/ even in the core of any bitter winter, you could sleep through anything/ https://timbarrus.tumblr.com


  16. the legends say

    there is always a narrative/ usually one divorced from reality/ stones and bones/ many narratives were created from revenge/ if they say you are a criminal, you are a criminal/ if they say you get fucked in the ass, you get fucked in the ass/ if they make the point…


  17. Dying Alone

    his wings in the jagged glass shadows have been clipped hideously/ they say sedation is this empty vacuum where you are not conscious/ this is a lie/ get used to it/ they’re going to lie to you and force feed you murmuring the dark selves songs/ curling discontent, you hear,


  18. lucid questions

    the lucid questions are not explorations he is going to either answer or encourage/ he holds the secrets in his folded hands and lips of salt and bed of bones where his body was the prize/


  19. ferris wheel of rust

    we were insomniacs who played on an abandoned ferris wheel whose pendulum in appalachian rain was one blind eye and sullen just like you and weary where your skin leaked raw and your bones in the dark were soup inside your nerves to be so high such as we were


  20. toward whose delirious repose

    you in your distance toward whose delirious repose suggesting structures of scars i have seem them all i have touched them all i have followed them with my lizard’s tongue i want to thank you for teaching me a  huge, huge fucking lesson/ never get arrested/ https://timbarrus.tumblr.com


  21. Memory’s Machine

    lost afternoons justly placed each mirror could be manifest beyond sex work is still work and sweat and humiliation just like any other form of work an arrangement of perspective sheets, walls, scrubbing floors in unison our lips in full abundance we brought along our gods from the pawn shops


  22. Except Sometimes

    except sometimes your whispers tell us what you think it is we want to know and you are as always right about a lot of things/ like how pain and loneliness are often the same thing and your books of wandering arms outstretched have brought you here/ https://timbarrusart.tumblr.com


  23. Your Photographs

    beneath what photographic darkness does your panic ride and makes no promises to return, in fact, i have never heard you promise shit/ like some kind of human contract with anyone on the planet might elude your perpetual despair/ an exile in the innocence of graves/ how many tombs have…

  25. The Attic Gods Came By Today

    the attic gods came by today from behind time where they like to be concealed/ bearing the imprint of the din, the attic gods of history’s bin/ taking out what had been thrown away, and terrorizing us to explain it/ https://timbarrus.tumblr.com
