Fall away
All the ways
They think
You think
They think
Of you
Stand down
The put-down
Of lies from without
Lying within
Minds lying
To you
School
I think The Earth is moving
It’s not where I Left It
When in my Second-Story, Circus-Red-And-White-Striped childhood bedroom
I Knew never
Would wrongs be deemed Right
Should the voiceless be Silenced
Could I stay and just play School
Did you don Your cape then too
Care
Not as the stars
Collapse but explode
Splayed out
And beauty, protection, wishes
Be all the more
As bird in hand
If there be weeping
It is as lungs
Take in stardust
Mute
Why
So to spend a moment more
Without rolled up sleeves
Starving the fever of me
Indulging the ever empty
There lies the answer
Evoking so much
Here stays the question
I’m warned to not ask
Why
Concede: A Haiku
It’s a real tear
It will linger a lifetime
It’s a single tear
White
I like whispering
I like the morning
And it’s cold
And we’re cold
When it’s early and none ear can hear
When the grey doesn’t matter anyway
Thank You.
Never to be
The chance for a lifetime
Of telling
The mystery
Of you
To
You
So I will talk to the sea
It will understand
You know
Hung Up
You in this death never said
Goodbye
You in this life never said
Hello
Rooftops
What is there to say to the silhouette
Eyes and heart now stolen
Haunt me more
Keep me again from sleep
Let the light take its leave from your shoulders
No it cannot be
I drown in words
Though speech has escaped me
Shallow Breaths
I think I am certain I know
Rejection so painfully slow
Tho’ kindness would warrant godspeed
Fate feels that more torture I need
