An overhanging fig picked fresh.

that drivers would skirt our single line.
Hugging the roadside with torches lit,
Phones swung glowing to the ground...

It’s a slow drifting
off, that moment
before you dive
into the dark
you surface
to find a boat
surrounded by
shining pearls,
Styx, a mirror
reflecting
otherworldly stars
hypnotic,
you trail
your long
pale slender fingers

words like swords, piercing

erasing the hope of ever
feeling worthy or worthwhile
Hate is the spiteful taste,
bitter as the...

Impetuous Will
Headstrong, with an ageless broken heart,
I erased the memories of childhood,
And painted them back in frail colors, blushing pinks,
Pastels like jewels fading from my trembling fingers,
Imagining a dream where there had only been fantasies,
