  • Thank.

    Thank you
    for the gift:
    your stale breath
    on my pillow
    after you’ve gone.
    What cockleburs 
    become sweet comforts
    in the fresh winter
    parallel glow.
    
  • Let Her

    Let Her

    I wrote you a letter
    I could never mean.
    Trial and error - 
    the survivalist mantra:
    blessed are the meek. 
    
    In another era, 
    closed captioning
    open for grief. 
    Down hung heavier -
    cycles more vicious
    than obscene.
    
    My rock-tied tantra
    sunken beneath
    a murky green. 
    
  • Amaze

    Amaze

    Twisted and devouring itself, this soul, 
    
    like Midguard’s serpent, into Deadalus’ 
    
    shop of horrors - trapped. 
    
    Fading faster with each death.

    glass stones

    High brow,
    high tower,
    high people. 
    
    
    A grass fed,
    half-cocked, 
    cockamamie conjecture. 
    
    
    10,000 hours 
    so I know what I’m doing. 
    Shiny metal belt;
    leather hypersexual. 
    
    
    Hints to a treasure
    like steam
    wafting to 
    dogshit. 
    
  • 8 Carrots

    A horrific popularity contest
    where everyone’s obsessed
    with saying the last great thing. 
    
    So, this is what healing looks like?
    Another scab
    to contradict unrealistic totems. 
    
    
    Gilded, 
    not gold. 
    
  • oneuva

    She’s the kind
    of woman 
    you meet on the street
    and one day 
    regret everything,
    even though
    it all went perfectly
    according to plan. 
    
  • Artisanal

    I get them rolled - 
    a buck a piece
    from the hobo
    on the corner. 
    
    Man’s got taste. 
    
  • The Clock Stopper

    An inexorable vivacity,
    
    she crumbles entropy,
    pauses ultimate reality,
    and shakes the world.

    Seconds fall loose.

    Only for her,
    I leave that watch
    broken
    and never again let time

    tick.

    Lonesome, no more.
  • sadhours

    Even broken clocks
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Find Strength
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Twice a day
