Reptile by BirthInto the abyss
I look in to see
Peeking over, to discern
Her looking up at me.
Reptile cold and slithe,
I slither through the dewy blades,
And writhley race across the glade.
A lumping creature,
Limpling, legless loping,
Filled with their plastic dopamines.
Wet with amnion, glistening,
Halting in the flatlands,
No colour lights my way,
My brain is shriveled, stupid
Human...

Untltled 2So what’s the plot if 6 turns 9
On this old rainy day
What’s looming up behind the line
What you don’t have to say
Its way too obvious for words
And silence fills the air
Only disturbed by chatting birds
There’s always life out there.

UntitledIt’s about time not to count on time
Its always here to go on
Cut down the reasons from a rhyme
In case the reasons don’t look strong
They’re getting old with every line
We do the same, to some extent
A slice of lemon, glass of wine
Forgotten messages unsent.

CrowdownI stepped outside, feeling low.
There, before me, stood a crow.
He cooly looked me up and down
as he wore a beaky frown.
I wondered, would I lose my blues
if I could wear this bird's shoes?
Would his life be more complete,
he asked, if he could have my seat?
But I wasn't sitting on a seat,
and no shoes were...

I'm AIOh my, why did I just say "intestine"?
They say that life is all predestined.
Once, the initial conditions are set,
we can know what hasn't happened yet.
The laws of physics flawlessly operate
on atoms to determine our fate,
which in turn has its impact on
hormones, dendrites, and axons -
which play out endless variations
of the same themes and conversations.
I'm old...

You may say I'm crazy
but as it takes one to know one
do you have what I've got
if I am are you too
and am I nuts to think I'm not
the shrink he's not telling
despite all my yelling
he only asks how it makes me feel
it's quite a strain on the brain
is he really and truly for real

knows nothing moreA woman sitting in an old house herself,
counting paper clips.
Every day, was a creaking workday
that reminded her addiction was in freedom—
meanings of being young, being old,
being in love with the back then.
She’s not a fan of
not being a fan of new movies.
But who can blame her
for blaming herself?
A helicopter that flies
over the barren desert land...

You Have No Clue 2Before your clocks, before your name/
Before dust whispered into bone/
There was light-I was flame/
Crowned in brilliance, alone/
Not fallen. Not damned. Just other/
Too bright for Heaven's fragile sky/
They called it pride, not knowing the shudder/
Of a God who dared to cry/
They shaped me from the holiness' edge/
But chained my glow in fear/
I rose beyond their sacred...

Wounds like windowsWounds, like windows,
when opened,
let in light and the breath of something new.
But it takes courage
to unlatch what pain has sealed shut.
We board them up,
plaster the cracks,
pretend the draft isn't there—
but silence has a smell,
and you can only hold your breath for so long.
Sometimes, healing sounds like wind
whistling through what broke—
a quiet reminder
that damage doesn’t mean...

EruptionsIt's percolating from below.
If lava ain't allowed to flow,
you'll see something more abrupt.
One day, it must erupt.
A pompous, boring oration
continuing without cessation -
trying to listen to what he said,
a fly has landed on his bald head.
Trying to suppress thereafter,
impossible, you burst into laughter.
An injustice, and you start to boil.
It seems like such a heavy toll.

Tell MeTell me how to think
Tell me what to do
Tell me if my politics
Should be red or blue
Tell me how to live
What to keep or give
And tell me what I know
If I should stay or go
Tell me what is truth
Tell me what is lie
Tell me how to keep
Big corporate profits high
Tell me how to live
What to...

Without Merit
You condemn me from shadows you've never dared to leave,
Crafting judgment from fragments you refuse to believe.
I wear your scorn like armor, forged in silent wars,
And still you tremble—because I never needed your doors.
You pass your sentences like rituals in a dying faith,
But I know truth: it...

Tonight I Cried
Tonight I cried.
The silence after giving was louder than my music ever dared to be.
Six cards, six names—none turned toward me.
I asked why. The void answered with its back.
Tonight I walked into the open like a soldier with no armor.
The wind was a warning. The world—cold, familiar....

DysmorphedI, looking in the mirror yesterday,
witnessed distorted eyes replacing mine;
and, too, the lips and nose, as if a sign,
seemed bent crooked, misaligned in some way.
And, as I, squinting, gazed on that display,
an unheeding hand groped at the outline
of the coldly reflective glass confine.
I watched it slowly mangle the red-clay
body which, lifeless, answered my dead stare.
Tearing...
