and false lovebites,

In my mind's eye when I can see
A future time where I'm with you

I Am A Mountain
(Kafkaesque) This is a Franz Kafka style poem
All ill manner of men dances at the bottom of my flowing skirt,

LilithA dweller in waste places,
a void in foggy darkness,
the unseen shadow that trails us.
A doom that curses benign plants.
A tenacious panting wolf feeding
off the sorrows of the soil.
She's the...

Summer’s returnSummer- embraced, like a returning friend-
from a distant land. Here warmth descends-
here, she’s standing at the green fence.

rain and leaves crunched, with the cracks,
incessantly- stirring a...
