Takes Poems

Earth Takes a Fresh Breath

asteroids descend
lava erupts from below
flood waters sweep clean
leaving traces of its stay
for wildfires to have its way

Takes The Edge Off

If you don’t work, you don’t eat,
oh, God set things this way,
live off sacrifice of time
just to get through the day.

when I sleep
when I wake up
screaming
out
the words...
I hate
myself.
I lost the coils

and I violated
worse
than the selfishness
of myself.
I'm in
