    I am Solstice

    I am the only thing I’ve ever feared - 
    the force that moves, 
    the enemy that doesn’t. 
    We are Gemini. 
    No bang, no whimpers 
    just birthdays 
    on either edge 
    of the map. 
    Take a bath 
    in a glacier's fresh melt 
    you'll notice the drowning 
    kills you last. 

    Silence 

    in a moment of peace. 
    One minute, 
    one day, 
    one week, 
    same sudsy clawfoot.
    Not the suffocation
    of an airless climb.  
    Not the starvation
    of white pine standing proud,
    rooting through brackish cracks. 
    Not the dehydration
    from walking too far
    and never enough. 
    Hey, 
    let's be friends.
    • I am Solstice
    • I am the only thing I’ve ever feared –
    • the force that moves, the enemy that doesn’t.

  • Antecedent

    I live 
    with the confidence of death,
    certain I arrive on time. 
    I only hope she's not late again.

  • Preposterous Ponderings: 42

    The numerous ways to be right in life far surpass the few opportunities to be wrong.

    When you have reflected on different versions of yourself, have you felt like you sometimes take yourself for granted?

  • Needle in a Haystack

    I'm glad I only have one life to live
    now that I look back at it.
    Nope,
    never again.

  • Preposterous Ponderings: Alive

    Sometimes I look up from myself and think is this life?
    Then I wonder, would that be so bad?

    As my mentor would say, “real cosmic shit, yah’ know?”

  • I’m

    Your biggest fan and your harshest critic.

    Theunderbar

    Should I die tonight,
does this legacy 
of rambling
so easily capture as 
the dry moans of
midnight thunder,
the shaken masses;
flashing my love letters
down deep thrombosis
of their breaths.
Licking clean their contented
smiles,
byte by byte.
  • Soft Landings

    Soft Landings

    The saddest realization of all:
that happiness does not breed
romance. 
Destined for solitude until 
the need arises. 
A meaningful day
within a meaningless life.
I accept your cordial invitation
to a humble doom - 
to always fall back in love. 
A wolfish grin tailored by sheep.
