Take the moment, then, my heart and home
Take it and be gone.
Leave me rising dust and memories
To kill me when alone.

Shapeless, bitter emotions

I tried relentlessly to caress
The sour taste, warm touch

Burns my flesh.

How is it
that the sweetest
memories
hurt tenfold more
than those most bitter
buried deep
in this aching

In waking, tough to swallow
In sleep, liquid pools

Sometimes
Is a

To swallow

Our screams only heard by Spring

Brush

Tossing as much positivity,
into the air,
as possible,
to sugarcoat all,
the bitter negativity inside,
will leave,
a cavity.

The Well

A bitter well
taps the icy waters
from the sulphurous deep
slakes my thirst
makes my transformation
into the beast
complete.
