And won’t
Think or write;
Find the lining, copper search collapse.
Death
We witnessed together.
Foreshadow, always tends to.
Unease in my chest
Blessed to feel, everything always.
Growing
Tired of this painful polarity.
A scab shall be buried
Unrelated reminder of SoundCloud dude rapping some spoken word type “don’t be a scab” song somehow implying that picking at yourself is bad - which in retrospect holds merit, but was poorly portrayed I fear. His DJ seemed fun tho she be bouncy

feel the air thicken;
neurons twist around your throat,
sleep, and save your breath

Rewrite

I would turn back the hands of time,
Go back to the beginning,
Change where we're going,
Change where we've been.
If I could undo the past,
I would rewrite the present.
Often times, in our short but long lives, we are faced with moments of regret and wonder, "If I could.." would it change or will it still end up the same?
Alas...
Everything unfolds as it should. The good and the bad. This is the journey called life. Without regrets there will be no lessons learned.
With eyes expressive as the morning sea
you looked at me but didn't say a word
A harlequin sun shone forth with glee
and suddenly I fluttered, like a bird.
I wandered lonely as a rose by Autumn's gate
as I lay there in still repose, petals strewn      
I fell apart like dessert moon;
The scent that once perfumed my reign
were mellowed by September's rain
I drifted distant in the woods.
All my husks fell to the soil
each petal dried right where it stood    
No gardener's hand of hue embroiled
that filament that quivered slow  
like dying embers of nights glow
Shambled, windblown as the wind
beneath the last of summer's ray
regretfully I did rescind
As summer lost her fired splay
I wandered,
Lost and alone like a rose,
until the end of summer froze.
I want to touch you
like it was that first night
I want to hear your laugh
amongst the blurry images
I want to say it's totally okay
cause what does the future matter anyway?
but mostly
I want to pretend like you're not a fish
and I a bird
just waiting for the other to give out

Shamai
Chairs in the room
Vacant
Because
Alone
Requires
Emptiness

On the table
Papers
Requiring attention
Strewn to the side
And left
Alone

Fire in the hearth
No one
To watch it

Empty room
Amply furnished
Ticking clocks
No one
To listen
