Those Thoughts (Extended Version)
Nightmares, shame, and despair---

even with someone by your side.

You thought the hint would be cutting off the phone.
But everyone wants...

The Revolver
With a desk, a cluttered room
Through cracks in shutters I catch the moon
Whirl my tangible face once around the threshold

His Patience
I have tried his patience enough
It started like a wink 
And like a worked up fellow
I slumbered away.
