The stardust male and female still flush with light
From exploding stars, seeding new possibilities, our true progenitors.

Murdering Pluto

"Murdering Pluto" 

On Pluto, 
they deal with trauma
in the best possible way,
they murder it slowly 
in poetic hell 
day after day.

the dark Seraphim
have their way. 
their ways are stellar.
some say they hover
in the stratosphere,
but that's...

Skirting the Issue


Somebody saw the enemy’s fearless leader
secretly slinking away

But that fearless leader, 
who was seen...

For a Girl Named

I lay in this mess bored
Like I’m half torn
Before I was born
I had to press forward.
Live deceives you
And think,
What’s in between blinks?
It’s not a manner of speech
It’s what deceives you to think.
What makes people meet

Plastic Society

Tattle cries are just as loud as battle cries,

tears from mannequins dry on untouchable skin. 
You may have a purpose, but your attempt at a movement 
is motionless because your...

Joyless Joseph

Very virtuous violent vowels vociferously validate,

Be Grateful


Right now, are you feeling unsatisfied
with whatever you have in possessions?
Always feel stressed, some sort of depression
for not having what's desired, to be pride.

pushes hard jealousy, raze, obsession
makes one tired hankering...
