My name is Geoff May 2017
the plate
of moon and stars
smothering up the sky

the clique
of colossal hills
murmuring meekly

the one-
toned shadow
laying aloof on dirt

each one
never stops craving
for me. How ‘bout you?

don’t you
ever want to
follow me, too?
My name is Geoff May 2017
A butterfly stays
in a king’s bush, laden
with blush roses—
an orphan of the garden.
Home of the yesteryear,
now thorn whips cracked
By old wardens.
Flee, you blossom flapping.
Flee, for your proboscis
seeks for sanctuary,
Not a casket.
My name is Geoff May 2017
he consumes his life counting apples from a mango tree
still thawing itself from a snowy bath
whereas
she wastes her growth as a ripened fruit in spring
waiting to be handpicked by him
My name is Geoff May 2017
You are not speaking
but I’m already listening.
I’ve been shouting out
your name from miles
that the echoes only fill
my mind. I keep chasing
the sprint of your voice
along with this selfish
space that keeps us apart.
If you never cared, never
noticed, never realized,
at least repay all the stares
I have stolen from you.
Feel the glances I’ve bitten
away from you. For these
starving eyes will battle
the pain in its gut until
you feed them with yours.

— The End —
