Endings are nowhere near as final, now. The lines and curves that once made up the edges of many loves are now so faded and so low to the ground, that I can’t tell where one happiness ends and the next begins. If any of them ever end at all. No goodbye was forever at […]

There came a knock against my heart Some whisper rose, and gave me pause… I steeped my soul into the dark, “Don’t tell me it’s too soon…” AS SATURN SWUNG ME FROM AFAR, THERE CAME A KNOCKING AT MY HEART, “Rub your neck until the… Skies collapse…” My eyes are growing large, My face is […]

Thirsted I, for skies starlit and the morning mist’s dew to relieve my feet. But lifeless valleys wrap over the land, Stone walls, sheer as shale, brace the four ragged corners Of this aberrant new plane… Thus repelling all timely wisdom, and slicking away all answers the most immediately unknown borders may offer. Wholly bitter […]

If the world reset, And came a new Genesis… Our image would wax. Mated to our breed, So much am I your equal. This, our code to share: Concepts of conscience? …Our love authored Golden Rules. Our image would swell.

You’re mine, And mine alone… My flesh cries out, to call you home The parchment swaddling my bones, It needs you, I see you.   Simon wails, in quarters dim For chicken patties to comfort him, And by your light, I’m guided still Your kindness, most righteous… You lead.

Last time I chased some tail, It belonged to a dragonfly. Or an ice cream truck, Passing by. I’ve been seeking what’s worth keeping… but that information is classified. Through your childhood’s lens, stare to The deities of the season, and ask them why. Mn  

I ruined another butter-knife On the irradiated marshmallow spread I’m redirecting across this bread, With all the precision You could expect From your Papa. I must throw it out. Now I’m in a bad mood. And to top it off, The coffee pot is teeming with mold… But I never use it. Thank God. I’ll […]
