The ink impregnated in time
Woe is me; For there I am trapped
That moment is different to me now
That [name] should be dead
Yet there I am doomed to live
It was staring into the ink that winter
That I learned how to die
I practiced killing that picture

Don't tell me the soul isn't trapped in a photo

Note: My name is omitted for anonymity

The Baker

It's the perfect recipe for disaster

Some Things Last A Long Time

Only life lasts a lifetime

*Flash*

Don't tell me
That the soul isn't trapped in a picture

I lifted up that dusty frame
To reveal those colors that reconstitute my form
I see what I'd call my smile there

And I know
That the soul
Is trapped
In a
Picture
...

Phony

I used to worry
About what counted as Zen

But I set that burden down long ago
And you're still clinging to that question

Eggs for breakfast

I skipped my first alarm this morning
I wasn't ready to open my eyes to a blank phone
Less ready to admit I cling to it
Can't fathom I cling to you

Now its time for work
And I only have time
To worry about my eggs

A new hope? Or ever more lost?

The Win Win

Feeling good feels just as bad

Expect greater diversity in my second collection of works.
