Being

we are lapses in
judgement, human and divine
accidents alive

Pleasure

steaming, pleasure drips
milked from the bloated udders
of faceless others

Epitaph

let the gravestone say:
he was buried like was born,
crying and alive.

Embers

the best has come and
gone—burned, never to return:
ashes in an urn.

The Fight

on the ropes: pummelled;
somehow, he stays on his feet:
the bell ends the round!

like water to ice
passion freezes into nice
words / hard hearts / love cracks.
