whispered stinging sticatto 
cold licks next to my ear, so sincerely -...

On the south-western side of the old mission school,
on the corner of 1st,  where the blackberries grew
a field claimed by children, was crosshatched with tracks
It was riddled by gophers and, nettled with foxtails
and youthful...

   not around, crying, screaming,
   torturous visions of death on

How easy it is to kill creeps

Its starts getting louder as it hits the ground,

A vast array of hues bursting forth to greet the eye of the beholder;
Music cascades from the various shops and one of the passing cars
Laughter pleasantly warms...

Ascending from the depths 
Of my personal sea of sorrow, 
I feel the pressure in my body easing 
As I get nearer to the surface, 
The abyss no longer a blinding darkness

My lungs struggle to...

Don’t, and I’ll say it again, don’t do this
I mean make a bucket list
Then go out and try to fulfil it, especially if you pissed.

Here comes one of those super confident drones, Elephant.
What does he want? Or should I ask who does he want?

A momentum so palpable it resonates with each...

By...
