a simple haiku
the evil eye rests as clouds churn and churches sing. i think of you then.

hiding
look me in the eye. tell me that so far, five weeks, eight days, seven hours, you don’t miss me. tell me you don’t see me. tell me you don’t think of me. whisper to me through the phone. several thousand miles, three continents, thus many seas. tell me how you feel. tell me what i don’t know. yell at me. kiss me. burn my tree. anything at all. just tell me what we are.

fake happy
p  o  p  ! goes the eyes   of a goddess when   in her hand laid    the mirror. no    such reflection she    had looked at, like a still before her — where  is the pearl complex- ion she'd smooth- ened out f     o     r herself  ? where  is the   eyes she   had s   e   e  n herself th rough for the    past century  ? "what is t   h  i  s malfun- ction ? " s  h  e asked. "it  is  the i m a g e of  souls, d  e  a  r goddess. it  shows n  o  n  e but    the t r u t h," said   the y o u n g daedalus. the   dear goddess laughed. a mere m o r t a l, pondered the immo- rtal,    who d  a  r  e  s tell        me who i am ? she  took  an other     look at   her   own i   m   a   g   e — the   too   pale skin   and   it's monotonous effect   on   her bland         face — and           then, she     smashed the       imagery of      her    own s                            l.    o          u

the imagery of souls
one. she tells me words i never want to recite again. i don't start sentences. i become sentences. two. the nights pull me in. it's fulfilling. they tell me to wipe up the poison and bury the cloth. three. a tree grows from the cloth. it's leaves are sickeningly green. something inside me wants to cuts it down. four. i bite into the fruit it bears. it tastes like warm pie. it heals my wounds as i live in fear. five. my hours become smiles. i lumber deeper into the trunk. fires don't die in there. six. i fall for a forest nymph. she bathes in a river eight acres away. the river i bathe in is only an acre away. seven. a human is no a match for a creature woven by nature. the forest and the river blends. i cut down the tree while it's spirit converges. eight. my hands are stained with poison. i flush it down a void. the darkness replaces what has hitherto been empty.

i am toxic
the truth is missing. a whole town looks for traces of your orange red brown hair after you vanished into another plane. the truth is questionable. you don't know where you are or how you breathe or where your flesh and muscle and bones and wounds have washed away. was it the other side or this side? the truth is stuck. you push every wall of thin air and you find that it is endless. you shouldn't want to leave. you can't.

a wizard once said that words in the head were spoken underwater like the empty part of a letter. a man once said that words in the head are the words we say, the attention we pay. you once said that words spoken in the head is a country of their own. those we say are of an inside town. so let's forget about the head, dont think of our problems ahead. words spoken by the heart are words spoken to be art.
