Reflections on water,
sun’s shining bright —
and it made me think of you.

How hard can you be?
You drive me off
my sanity.

The long enough I wait,
and I see —
I’m running into your arms,
arms that forgot
how I had been.

I am burning.
And I know —
nothing
will stay the same.

We are gnawing
at each other.
Nothing stays.
Nothing stays the same.

You embrace me.
You throw me off the edge.
Still, I know —
nothing stays the same.

THE CALL OF THE VOID.

Everything’s dictating me.
What’s to be done?
Off with you, dictator!!

Nothing new to me —
just the void.
All the same.

Here’s to that call —
again.
Again.

Dreams scream real
while I lay asleep
in my bed.
