Drenched in tears, I wrench in response to the pain I sense. Caused by wrong desirers, walls, guards, and the electric fence. Put here to stop free choice by man, To keep him from becoming all that he can. To hold imprisoned, crushing hopes and dreams. To in flick hurt and pain, I can hear the screams. Today, though they’ve been...

In the shadow of an eclipse, where worry takes its flight, The burden of strife can weigh you down, Yet in each moment of pain, in the depths of sorrow’s night, A spark of sunshine glimmers, a whispering sound. When loss feels like a mountain, an insurmountable wall, And anguish...

You are a soligaster of the highest order, held in pristine favor by your court. A wordsmith after Satan’s own heart. Champion of Doublespeak, a demonstrative firebrand with a MAGA-phone. An artful dodger, complete with chaotic DOGE. Delusions more grandiose than Bonaparte, crowned King of Deception you be a celebrated charlatan who follies...

I got lost coming home tonight To my surprise, the room was empty You were not there, sweetie The bed was made and the floor was bright. I miss you, I miss you dearly The room was very cold and sad Like a lover who’s desperate and mad Frankly, my heart felt weak and empty.

I’m cat-spitting dog-growling peregrine-divebombing rooster-flogging badger-flipping hornet-stinging wolverine-ripping mad. I fired the sun for showing up late cursed the fridge light until yogurt soured in terror. God called I let it ring twice. The therapist said breathe so I swallowed my tongue now I speak in the language of things with canines. coyote-howl syntax vulture-vowel decay the guttural grammar of...

?? "Bestie Became Enemy" Bestie became enemy, sharp like a knife, I never thought you'd cut me out of your life. I gave you my secrets, my soul, my trust, Now all that's left is broken dust. You knew my pain, you held my hand, I thought you'd always understand. But jealousy grew where love should stay, And now your kindness fades...

I found her as a whispered line in an editorial stuck on the silk folds of a silver jubilee like regret. She had bled once in a different continent A red thread pulled taut at thirteen Doctors sealed the loom forever. I was thirteen too, still learning the topography of my brown skin. My hands trembled like birdcage doors unsure whether to open or...
