There you were across the way
Eyes of silver, skin dark grey
A green/black shirt on a blue/brown skirt
And hair down to your needs
The sharpest violet you’ve ever seen

Whether by chance or by fate
Our eyes […]

I don’t

have any

seeds

I can’t

Plant my

yards

Wines

are close

sorta

It isn’t in my way
The table is nice and clear
But it wasn’t there yesterday
Really, it shouldn’t be there now
Only I can choose, but mom and dad disprove
Knowing this I swish my tail and shrug
Either way, I […]

Murder City

Aptly named

Never pretty

Never tamed

Kill the guards

Kill the men

Hi risk hi rewards

Just avoid the children

Once a refuge, now it’s not,

Once a safehouse, now you’re […]

Dear Mr. Man,

I hope this finds you well, up there in your high tower
Untouched by our unrest. Blessings and peace upon-

Oh, who am I kidding, let’s start again.

Dear Mr. Man,

How do you sleep at […]

The rain hadn’t stopped in days
Constant but light it dug into the psyche
A consistent pitter-patter on every surface
Some people got used to it…
Not us.

Local radio and news stations had gone o […]

Walking through the city
Silence pervades each corner
Everything is somewhat gritty
Caution as we move south
A glint of silver, a flash of red
Murder in the daylight
Your turn to take her head
Pocketing the […]

To start there was fire,
combustion, and coagulation
Sulfur and oxygen
Moisture so warm you could not breathe
Without drowning and boiling alive
Not that anything was living here.

Then came the rocks
From […]

The land knows you, even when you are lost

It wraps around you, smooth tendrils of grass
Or sometimes the bracken underbrush
Forming a path to your destination
Conjoining with you inside this […]

Sit down and don’t touch.
It says curse so that means?

“We remove the curse!”

Yes-n-no it means we don’t touch it!
You
leave it alone
until
you
find the way to

“spread it! Like jam!”

My lord […]

In those private new people
Anything around had crim
That’s where the whole thing
Decided to feel

Replaced
Heartbroken

Damn, she cursed as moonbeams floated through the fog
The coffee was cold again and she had none to blame but herself
She cursed again, attracting the attention of a small brown dog
As she hit her elbow […]

Good morning kitten, it’s time for your leash.
Out in the world, we’ll see all the trees
You can climb them but don’t run off too quickly
We’ll both get stuck.
Fine, you can go a little further.

Good […]

We had 3 things in common,
Same shoes, same hair,
even the same birthday.

We were strangers:
Different parents,
Different friends,
And different countries altogether.
Yet somehow I’m on trial for a crime […]

Two black bags neatly packed
Soft like the sunset
Bitter like Regret

There on the hillside,
Bright like their eagerness
Present like egress

Travelers meet  disrupted
Sudden like the limelight
Fiery […]
