HOUSE IN WINTER WITH BROKEN FURNANCE-HOUSE IN WINTER WITH BROKEN FURNANCE- - A Haiku
freezing wintertime
how an upper, bright house squeaks
before the furnace

house in winter with
broken furnace glazed icy
windows frozen stuck

under your razor's gaze
My mind is laid bare its components
& functions are under your razor's gaze
To compare…

…drifts into the corridors of...

so our cloth prone to fray
as those yarns start to stray
of our weave we are...

HUNGRY for SOMETHING ELSE-I'm in a paper bag
And nothing inside
WITH me but plasticware
Where the plastic forks and knifes and spoons
NEEDED to eat the unprepared fake food
In unsettled in my bowels
I'VE digested impurity

how to make new friendsit has something to do with strangers,
not knowing what to expect.
spontaneity is only fun when it’s familiar,
otherwise there’s a disconnect.
it’s drives with your best friend,
and skating at night.

Behind My EyesBehind my eyes, I find peace in the quiet
Living alongside my anxiety
When my mind is full of chaos and riot

Though I don’t believe in higher being
I can join in prayer with...

Someone's knocking on the doorThere was a knock on my door,
It made my heart thumbing indoor,
Chappy lips and sweaty hands along my heart so sore.
On the third knock my heartbeat skyrocketed.
Panic was banging all over my body,
Distant noise...

through the flames of her blackened heart--A cobwebbed threshold
of her festering wound.
The foul rush of shadow and abandonment
spoiled just beyond recognition.

and venom searing vehemently
through the flames of her blackened heart
becoming death’s latest rendezvous.

TangibleI don't know what's worse
There is the concrete statement
Between two unknown points

With my mind
Howling in despair

Rather than
Eat marshmallows
And drink chamomile
