Nemusa

He eats at my soul with a lover's slow hand,

Each bite a hymn, each wound carefully planned.

His silence, a gospel, his shadow a prayer,

I light every candle, but he's always there.

A feast in the dark where no one can stand.

Storm Coming On

The sky looks like them---
Just waiting to burst out in tears
Scream
And collapse

The ringing in my ear

You ring in my ear and my mind
You were too loud
And I was forced to be around you too long

You go In your haunting voice with your haunting actions
Yet another thing if yours
With a result that makes me feel bad

(this note was written by a lion without a mane that hated blue lights and grape juice)

Adams apple - Senryu.

Eve
shares a rotten apple
with
Snow white
they call it
the
kiss of life
