savior
I had a cry with the devil once his laughter resounded in my ears shrill screams of excitement at seeing my pity I talked with him oh why your ears were closed I do not know But he made farce antics out of my anguish talons threaded in my essence holding…

five
It has been years, darling it has been lustrum. I have watched you- brittle and weak- an attachment to this life that I so often loathed. You have been drudged up from muck; on the verge of fatality. Yet there was a spark in you. An energy that was tied to this earth, and sweetheart…

Pickpocketing danger
The sunflowers have no smell to them this year- they reek of frost and desolation. Putrid yellow tendrils tangling with the Earth. I am waiting for them to ravish this planet.

reflections
What do you call these showers when April passes. It rains here so much I’m afraid I’m stuck in that month. It mocks me, those cruel days snicker at my repetition. It turns on and off, off and on; rain casts drizzles that have no place to go. These waters flood my streams, their…

littering rays
The moon is radiant tonight spilling ringlets of rays down I wonder if this is what they mean when they say the sky is alive
