new voices soon will sing.
nestled eggs under mothers breast.
1.
wish wish  die
shh, little fly

2.
palm on palm
between, a slender void
mosquito, still alive

3.
sour streetlight
splashes on eye

4.
night sleeps
her jaw slack

5.
mosquitoes got me dancing
an Obscurus
little verses I scribbled last night

quiet
what viscous a sound

noise
like dust on a wall
the hand moves
and wears it
stills then
and becomes it

this city tumbles
a restless fall

Wishing in colors
Painting the wind
Singing a fragrance
Sculpting within

Tasting a memory
Touching a dream
Hearing the moment
Feelings redeemed

(Ronald McDonald House: April, 2022)
the binding of my book
is covered in tape
and held together by
sadness
inspired by my friend karis
At 11:05 the torrent came,
its current tainted,
its waters shamed

At 11:06 direction changed,
intention drowning
—redemption stained
