winter Feb 2023
glamour associated with parking garages
the fancy places they connect to
hotels and theatres and law firms downtown
stepping out in all black, always
winter Feb 2023
I've decided to start treating myself as a person and not just an entity. Behold the beholder of the planet, except perhaps I can be perceived, too.  This means I have to be more careful, in fact.
What is the line between safety and delusion?
Suddenly I am no longer able to expose my soul to the world, as if releasing my secrets into a dark void, an unfavorable algorithm.
I am, in fact, here.
I am, in fact, perceivable.

I'm sorry to the mother of all mothers who gave birth to a totem,
small statue in a blanket whose stone is cold even under the cotton
stitched from her love

strength
in the morning
every hour minute moment
when despair takes its hold and every
word thought sight reminds you
of everything you've lost but
despair is useless and
despair won't get you through
winter Nov 2022
the end of the universe visits me each night and whispers the consequence of sleep
the dark, like a blanket, drapes itself over
the ashes of all we grieve
this bed where i lay, once soft and serene now threatens a place to be burried
consciousness drifts as i draw my last breathe, and what's left is this thriftless worry
i'd like to wake up, and i'd like to live on
but the end of time each day comes
i wish i could've saved all those who are gone
but the pain eventually numbs

little room in new york
on a high floor
over looking these lights
this all came to me
in the form of many dreams
i can sense it
the end, an end
something sublime
the terror-ous kind
draws near
winter Oct 2022
a deer, alone
youre a lot like me

this is the only way i can be

under the moon,
nothing to show for myself
looking in the grass for something,
stalked and unsuspecting

there are days when i'm afraid of dying but not afraid of death
there are days when i'm afraid of death but not afraid of dying
never both never neither

this is how i'll be forever
