Ben Heart Mar 2021
An ill attempt to hide
The stars are worthless
When they're kept from sight
Like a phoenix
In a birdbath

The seductive skylines
Another ripple in the pond
Lost in their own lives
Am I insane to believe
The gigabyte afterlife

The conversational kindle
Nurtured or Nuisance
Shall we stay estranged
Not entangled
In some universal umbilical

The neon fever dream
Cacophony of screaming screens
Drawn to the dystopian
Premonitions from the past
The Future is so Victorian
Ben Heart Mar 2021
She collected whispers
In jars on her desk
And stuffs her pockets
With mumbles

She wears a necklace
Of marbles
Crazy Cats Eyes
That see in the dark

She cries crystals
That she later places
In a row
On the windowsill

She had a scrapbook
Of flattened leaves,
Butterflies
And razor blades

She played guitar
But only ever acoustic
It better captured
Her emotions

She would not sing
Instead she opened a jar
And let some lost soul
Whisper along

— The End —
