Dangerous Things

A gun is a dangerous thing
to put in my arms
But so were you

Nevermind

Bury me up to my neck in water

Soothe my like you would a preachers daughter

Like someone who’s sore from bowing at pews

Who’s secretly ****** up

And never amused

“Nevermind” -JP

The Sound of a Laugh

It's not the mere sound of a persons laugh,
Rather it's what or whom they are laughing at
That defines who they are

Thank You

I thank God
For taking from me everything He has taken
and
For giving to me everything He has given
For every step has a purpose of its own

"Thank You" -JP

Burnt

One minute you're on fire
The next
You're burnt
That's just how it works

Ritual

I was born
out of ritual

Cultivated
in an abundance

Of sacred experience
