Elegy In SleepHis dreams are told through the eyes of an honest liar / and those eyes are black like respiratory failure / and sleep paralysis, his passions are inflamed

Tiger TigerI was the oldest of four, I'd had friends, a happy family, a warm house to come home to after a long day at school. That was before my parents had started to disagree on things. / Before our home became cold, just a house full of tension, no longer a place I wanted to be. The disagreements, became arguments, that became fights. / My parents became paper tigers, clawing at each other, but never hurting themselves just those around them.

The Woman of Virgo SuperclusterHer eyes were the color of solar flares / and the remnants of super novae, / eyelashes damp with Venus’ acid rain.

Tiger Tiger (Not a Poem)I was the oldest of four; I'd had friends, a happy family, and a warm house to come home to after a long day at school. That was before my parents had started to disagree on things. / Before our home became cold, just a house full of tension, no longer a place I wanted to be. The disagreements became arguments that became fights. / My parents became paper tigers, ethereal imitations of the ones in the zoo; clawing at each other, but never hurting themselves just those around them.
