Divisible
The first dream Where I saw you approach Love silently smothered In the yellow booster Seated at the wrong side of An unfinished Turn table Leveled by legless arms Hoisting a sword It's over my head If only I were paralyzed Could you see The slicing nightmare Piercing guiltless bread Forever divided Between all your…Read more Divisible
Burning Moonlight
We abandon hunger At the first sliver of light Baby crescent cobra Hovers over Unburied bones On thawing ground We cannot weight To shove them under Careful consumption Exposed in onion skinned detail The swollen swallow Chokes On a breath of fresh air Replacing the silence of peacekeeping With deafening truth Sing sing sing Goodbye…Read more Burning Moonlight
Arms Length

You Are Enough and Other Lies
If we were enough You would cease in Scraping our faces across The searing sidewalks Of existence Track marks Steamrolling civility of Eloquent boundaries Set alongside cups of tea Steeped in humility Quiet Plainly stated requests would suffice In saying what now requires Scarred and hog tied bodies Screaming pleading bleeding Tears drowned in Gaslight…Read more You Are Enough and Other Lies
