Poems
May 2023
.bat your eyes, girl.
come what, may?
it's that swallow of
guilt I can't help
but stomach;
it's the galaxy of rain drops
on the pre-dawn
painted window scene
& it's that look I
I know I'm being
given from miles and miles
& miles far
away
they've all settled
underneath my
skin
& everything that I
feel and fear
bears the burden of
a future sin
when all either wanted
was to just let the
other in
maybe I'm afraid of
the ever-fleeting
folly
maybe I'm afraid of me
but I can't seem to
help but rest my
tired bones
inside such a gentle
reprieve
"kudos to those who see
through sickness,
yeah..."
is this the final
exigency
I've so desperately
sought?
or am I still
writhing in the hell
of a life
& a love that was
for naught?
I called out caution
to the waves
& they called to me:
"may, come what?"
.
.
.
writer's block has been very unmerciful to me during a very merciless time
fingers crossed for cathartic
thoughts
