It is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.
It sharks,
unpeels more gut more quickly
than reel or reeler ever lost
in all those years of lazy inches
in and out:
casting,
winding in and playing out,
hardly fishing, rarely catching
anything

No God of Mine
Cement, sand and gravel, blood, body and soul
Eternity bred from hell's darkest hole
Combine gruesome aggregates, hydrate the mix
Mould them and dry them, then stack up the bricks.

of forgiveness' smiles eroding the pasts scars

He was fixing something
(I don't remember what)
but he called me up.
He wanted me to see
the sunset
uninterrupted by the houses
and trees of...

It is very impressive to go westward
in an early morning of midwinter,
because you will see a full moon
that you have forgotten for a while
in the middle of the western sky.

What For Oh This War

Bombs keep raining, missiles shower red rage,

Asks herself,
“Where’s the substance?
Am I gormless...
