You hold a story of me that is not mine, the version that smiles, makes polite conversation, tells just enough truth to keep you satisfied. But you’ve never witnessed the war. How I fight against the silence, how it curls into my lungs until breathing is tantamount to failure. I wake some mornings to the sound of me thinking my own thoughts, too loud, too sharp, examining...

Digital Disconnect
The living room, Laughter clinging like a warm embrace, Yet silence wraps us in a shroud. Faces aglow from screens, Eyes reflecting curated lives, Fingers dancing over glass, As warmth slips through our grasp. We scroll, searching for connection, Moments polished and perfect. But intimacy dims, Lost in the sterile glow of notifications, ?Voices mere echoes, Fading like whispers in the night. Conversations drift like dust, Words replaced by...

Disconnect
Waiting so long is making me melt. A ghastly light is washing this room. The sounds are like poison. I must steady myself if I want to remember… And even as she explains the moments between blackouts… It is like she is telling me about a stranger. I guess numbness made me forget. I think she can...

Disconnected feelings to protect my heart I read your text messages you have quite an art Trying to play it cool to keep things disconnected But here you come my friend with your words to be collected Then I hear her calling calling out my name Lady Freya assuring me that you are not the same She said not to compare you to those who came before Besides...

There's a big disconnect one that we can't seem to perfect It ain't gotta be perfect I just want this to have purpose they say whatever you want to grow make sure you keep it watered but I gotta say, these issues we have still seem unreal at times it's like being at a restaurant...

The Disconnect
Eyelids flutter, White canvas shutters, Open to the work around, Close these windows, And I dream of sin and slave. I'm red underneath, But I hide it with parchment, And nod my agreement. When light meets dark, And the villain shakes hands with the lamb, Is when you'll know who I am....

Disconnect the Link
J-ust disconnect the link, O-bserve the physical distancing; E-liminate the close contact, L-et mask stop the viral thing. G-o disconnect the link O-f the pandemic peril; N-egate the horrible hazard Z-one of the dreaded devil, A-llow the dirt to evaporate, L-et the grime silently sink; E-vade the human hug, S-tart to disconnect the link. Topic: Birthday of Bro. Joel...

Disconnect
A high school reunion on Zoom; Alumni all home in a room. Each face that I’ll see Like a stranger to me As I will be to them, I assume. I haven’t seen most now for years. We’ve traveled in different spheres. So then why should I care What I look like or wear To this jury of long-ago peers? Yet, preparing before it will...
