 Dec 2015 Ashley Haack
Day
the smoke drifts out of a soul losing his meaning
trying to drown his pain in tobacco and *****

lying in bed next to an unfamiliar face
she's lost herself to the crush of desire and shame

staring out the window with empty eyes
the child wishes for a someone, anyone to rescue him

and last, a small white cat, sitting on the couch
watching it all fall apart,* **day by day by day

DaRk IcE
Winds blistering infinite cold
Fills the hole
In
My
Heart
The fierce scolding winds
Coagulate
The
Missing
Pieces
Is it my heart or my head
that wishes I was dead?
I'd rather be a villian by standing up for myself than the victim Who silently cries for help.
