Inheritance

Could I sit with you, for a moment? I want to tell it all to you. Tell you of hopelessness. Tell you of a fog That swallowed all it touched, Until there was no more. Could I bother you, just for a while? I have to tell somebody. I have to tell somebody about the […]

From Within to Without

In through the nose. Out through the mouth. That’s how we get the demons out. At the hearth of your skull. Beneath your feet. The only places the darkness can’t reach. The racer comes grinding, winding down. The chaser runs prettily, swiftly around. Let him indulge, burn himself out. Take the deepest of breaths, From […]

Bautizatl

You’ll start to notice. A glaze of some sweet substance, Pouring over a shining sphere, All rounded heads coming together to meet at the bottom. Culminating in a single budding drop. It drops. A thick string now the only thing Separating the two.

At A Certain Stoplight

“Do you wanna go or not?” “Where is it again?” “Don’t even worry, man. I’m driving. It’ll maybe be like 20 minutes.” 40 minutes have come and gone. An hour. We arrive at the apartments. Slinking along the dark, quiet lanes. Lights of the city tint the night sky in tones of mauve and lavender. […]
