feed me
I eat. I remember. I eat to remember. We fell in love. We ate. We were. I still remember. That life, that love. The food we shared. I eat. I remember. I eat to remember -- You.

sell me some courage
sell me some courage / sell me a pint / a wannabe human declared / before resisting the plunge / sell me some courage / a bottle of dew / so I might continue / I beg you / I do
the unbreakable chains
the unbreakable chains holding me in place / the bars of my involuntary cage / the locks to which I have no keys / …
“Of what are those unbreakable devices made?”, you ask
“Fear”, I say, “out of fear are they made, out of fear are they kept alive. Fear I fear; the answer…”
Resurrection
An accidental departing the box called home, I found plants limping and my frog belly up just so, Hoseing down the pots in joyless sunshine then, Plants in recovery; my frog - unlikely I say
as I rise
Tomorrow, as I rise all will be as they intended, Black and white across my skies the magpies sure will fly Tomorrow, as I fall all will be as they intended, Bloody crosses under purple skies; the magic slowly gathering Tomorrow, in the land of addictions; they will wake me; hurting Tomorrow, in the land of searching; my fingers crossed and bleeding Tomorrow, as I rise and fall all will be as they intended, Black and white; turning grey their observations I obey
can I claim sadness without tears
Can I claim sadness without tears // my youthful years so swiftly came and went // awaiting now the one swallow to make my day // before autumn winds fill my sail // before the leaves of yesteryear // unshaven falls; unshaven falls; unshaven - falls //ย beside me
a fistful of ugly
and there I was - thinking I could not go wrong again; but life waved its ugly hand: gloveless /// a two finger salute; a fist-full of ugly ?ยฟ? no longer in pursuit of my made-up dreams, the keeper of doors laughing; shut in face - in disgrace; my mirror cracked, and so my story ends.
all and nothing
All is good,
All is fair,
I swim downstream,
I laugh through prayer
All [โฆ] good,
All [โฆ] fair,
[โฆ] broken,
[โฆ] pray

I embrace my punishment; without a crime,
I bleed vividly; without a heart,
I stand tall; kneeling small
I am
,
no more
using only four-letter words
Today I will remain shallow,
Using only four-letter words,
Like okay,
Like fine,
Like sure,
Not to express truths,
Like lies,
Like fuck
You;
Me,
Keeping things safe,
Keeping things real,
Keeping things tidy,
,
,
Like snow; only more dear,
,
Like door bell: ding dong,
,
Like beat,
Like,
Beat,
,
Only; less fear,
,
full stop ends this shit: here.
unmarried
There are days when everything flows, when the dark and gloomy thoughts of [โฆ] feels like; creative writing. Other days such thoughts; and perhaps rightly so, are the cause for serious worry. I think too much, I drink too much, and never will they marry.
