we’ve been chasing the
forever setting sunlight
since it rose the once,

can we please rest now?
take a long seat in the moss..
get dissolved again
Idk

Sometimes I forget and the bells are unrung
Prayers unsaid
Hymns unsung

Sometimes I forget and the dirt is unstirred
Sky unrained
Birds unheard

Sometimes I forget and the worms are unfed
Bough unblown
Leaves unshed

Sometimes I forget and your face is unframed
Bed unseen
Stone unnamed

Sometimes I forget and your voice is unstopped
Flowers uncut
Life uncropped

Sometimes I forget and my smile is unfeigned
Nights undark
Days unpained

Could I be a friar?

Many thoughts flying
And sides trying
To find the underlying meaning
To words actions and mannerisms
Winding up in a cataclysm -
Quickly turning to the television
In a fog, thick mist, I’m foraging
For a piece of me thats readable
Or even just believable
I’m a liar, I envy the friar
To whom the word is dropped down
For them to pray on and drop down
To their knees and say “Oh
God you guided me
Kept your eye on me
When I couldn’t see
And I believe
I believe”
But if I did so blindly seek
Affirmations from this heaven freak
There’s so much to concede
Cos my world is telling me
We don’t deserve equality
No, Earth’s no hell
But its a hell of a monstrosity
Good god
Is for those with no gut for suffering
For those who can’t bear uttering
Words that simply bounce around a void
Devoid of meaning and shattering
Their dreams of happiness
Good god
Suddenly this entity
Is growing heavy with hostility
Who's the enemy?
Think I’ll choose quite pleasantly/vasectomy
Over your supremacy
