Totally (Not) Fine
the monotonous hum of mechanical fan cold air pricks bare skin illuminated by the grace of sunlight spiderling revealing, disease prohibiting sunlight there’s a cobweb to my right an old friend drops in to say hello only seven legs, unfortunately , and I wonder how he chooses to press on marvelous I take to the […]
Her Fever Dream
eyes close flutter open in a wicked craze then close I am tired of living and why should I love again it is sent but not returned written and spoken but never kept inside lost in translation, there is no confirmation miserable silence and I wonder if I’m wasting my breath on someone who’s blind […]

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 […]
Supposed
I thought people cared about each other I thought people cared About the deeper meanings Behind I need you, I love you I thought she would be different Than all the others Time Is supposed to make me feel safer In her arms
