when the second coming came.

The first had been the night before
when the bus demons dropped her off
to say they might be back
but weren't exactly sure when,
while I tied up...

To Have No Fear This Year
many of us have a set of fears that we are trying to suppress
we are being held hostage by them and our testimony can't progress

Slowing Down 

Electricity runs through my veins. 
It courses in waves,
from my head to my feet, 
and back. 
Why?
