All the sacrifices made for us, all the screaming,...

Just Looking On
Don't turn away
but plot its points by how much
it plummets downward
into all those dark

The Gentleman
You shouldn’t be buried somewhere unmarked in there and I shouldn’t be here.

She is my cousin.
I love her.
I am a liberal I told her.

stained with coffee and wine swallowed
to swill down today’s fake smile, yesterday’s
