winter

winter Feb 2024

that we are empty space,
I feel this the most

just the empty
just the space

winter Feb 2024

this aloneness has gone so far i can't even conceptualize it anymore
this dark matter
what happens when you shine a light
beyond the event horizon?
what happens when you touch me

i can't even imagine
it having any place to land

winter Dec 2023

universe gutted

the universe, looking at itself
inside itself, looking at its guts
we might be gore
lacking in surgical precision-
the supernature of preserving life on the brink

winter Nov 2023

apparition

the scattered wanderer
whipped from my brain and
conjured from deprivation
paces 50 feet behind
but today is getting closer

winter Nov 2023

the recovery

the world will never know brilliance
now that you are no longer in it

i, however, am all too used to change,
and impermanence,
and disaster

your strength gave way to me
i'll do it all
the pieces you left
shall stir and shatter
this earthly globe
and scar
to make
invincible

winter Nov 2023

child's eyes

low to the ground
i can't see it all
but i can see what matters

your soul is screaming through me

on quiet days

winter Nov 2023

protection

by my heart, may i be fierce
in rounding up you nihilistic
prey to destruction
mother's arms will strangle you
from dropping past the black horizon
squeeze and break you from
falling leaving bruises leaving
life
