You swallow the light / A familiar feeling / Envelops you / A perfect stranger / How many times has it been / That you put on the face of / Someone you’re not / Hoping it will be different this time?
All in Poetry
Vermin
I will love you into caskets / and weave you into baskets / To cradle all my peeling thoughts / Of wisdom words in clawed out hopes / Of hollowed hands dug into dirt / Of hallowed strands restored toward hurt
Aurora's Kingdom of Delirium
And soon was Aurora riddled and rooted, / with an affliction so sly, soft, and smoothed. / We sent our Aurora to the Kingdom of Delirium.
I don't think they heard you when you said you were free
It happened once in a dream;
I was chasing your tail lights
through the eye of the hurricane,
the radio played your favorite song as I lost control
Water Weight
I think of you
as the memory of our love
shatters like a ceramic plate, suddenly
In the Blue of Night We Embraced
It was on his lips and on my hips, / And I leaned in closer to inhale the / Magic-like, love-struck perfume that / He wore on his shoulder like a / Promise.
Eulogy to My Shadow
you are a stacked tower of satellite gloom / glowering your raspy doom in drab lighting / grey as crackled concrete spitting / tart textures of gravel into / every / crooked / crevice
Absenteeism
But the only home I ever knew,
Was embodied in to the thought of you.
Reflections
At dusk,
When heartbreak comes knocking
At your door, be kind, let it pass
