glowing peephole that is the moon.
Dare I look before turned to dust?
Yes, dear friend, I surely must.

In the midst, a...

Dead Spiders Weave
“It’s a terrible love 
And I’m walking with spiders…
It’s a terrible love and I’m walking in
Its quiet company…”-Birdy

Head In a Box
I find that if I cut a lens-size hole
in a cardboard box then place that box
over my head
at night,
the stars form new constellations;
strangely, they can...

Nowhere to go but vertigo
Going vertical on weary tippy toe

Jumping ship on life saver worm holes
Colliding lips of psychos doing...

The other adjust his clothes
The handle turns their hearts

Bamboo trees
Walkway sentinels;
Windy voices hum


Old plumeria...

Yet again the door is being knocked
For ages it’s been closed

Who's there?

The Breeze Halts!
Tulips raise their heads in delight..

No, Seriously, the Sky Is Falling
Blood gushes from the seams where the ceiling meets the walls
I hear screams echo past my door and all throughout the halls
Just outside my apartment...

‘tap, tap, tap’

your petite knuckles
gently attacking my door -
I envision their French-painted nails
dancing in the shine of
the hallway light
like a row of bishops bowing to...
