Looking Forward

rising higher and higher on a path uncharted yet desired giving sight to unlimited worlds and hated for it what is revealed is also mocked hidden figures become immortal legends the light of worlds unseen is relentless and the paths they lead filled with terror and peace both pleasant and pain everything we see is […]

Stop Wishing

a new world is not a planet in a new galaxy within the fingertip of a new universe my new world is one where you stop wishing for tomorrow and lay in the grass beneath the sun’s endless rays far away from civilization and say, “I could live like this forever”

Her Right Eye

take our love break it over your mouth purple juices splatter on our hands drip down your neck between breasts the vessel of light magnified I lose track of your eyes, bowing now to clean up our mess wet tongue on the parched skin did I pass the test or should I look up at […]

A Man With No Plan

is it 1999 I feel so new, so broken, so remade I recognize so much and yet so little the same feelings I had for this person I have for nothing icky, like sweat on a blistering July summer forgotten, like change in a nightstand caught between memory and fleeting present bashfully reminiscent of how […]

Before The Sand Falls

They say I don’t have many friends Because I’m weird Too odd to be included with us And though outsiders hardly put up a fuss To find out the source of grotesque hate Every time someone tries to stand for truth They’re shoved a heaping pile of revenge And told to eat hastily from a […]

Questioning

I feel like I question myself more now Trying things they don’t seem to think matter I feel like the worst thing I can do sometimes Is nothing So I do something, anything, just to get myself Going Somewhere, the buttons line up And the smiles sign the dotted line I’m not very good at […]

Who We Are

The strings that bind are loose The love that lies is loose Among our throngs they collide Our hearts are hostage to the times Lips run red with an eerie cry One of murder, mystery, and a hope For salvation Winter stubbornly vacates the premises Yet my hands still feel so cold I never want […]

Reminders

Sometimes the best time to be human is when you’re in pain. When everything hurts. When everything is stinging and throbbing and you begin to wonder what angel you pissed off. Or what drug your mother was on that led to your birth. When the nettles and thorns give way to crimson teardrops. Sometimes this […]
