Something about 6 thirty
A.M.
Coffee calling
Birds beckoning
You

Something about 10 minutes
Absent-mindedly

If suffocation and the longest darkness remain
Be unbound, dear sister.

could I walk backward

We wanted something closer to perfection

We’d spill our blood for posterity
Now The People talk nonstop
And ideas die
