Zenith
I sit in warmth,
And watch,
Through the foggy window
At the white, powdery night,
An occasional orange light
Streaks by, not far above,
And I sit, listening,
To the soft humming of an engine.
a new day
goldfinches on seeding knapweed
simple things

cant wait to let this edge go,
the promise in my eyes,
i swear to God I've tried,
all the water turned to wine,
i drank it all to lose some time,
not quick enough to dull the shine.
i wish that i was never yours,
cause never was i ever mine.

Vale Luna
(read forward, then backward, line by line)

I ran.
Not knowing what else to do
There was so much blood on my hands
It was mine
The kitchen knife
Caught in my chest
Guilt
Consumed by
Fear
I was heightened by
Adrenaline
But running on
Wasn’t enough
While trying to stay calm,
Losing control
It was me that would end up
Dead. Because
He was
In front of me
The whole time
It was too late
Trapped
I found myself
Locked in chains
My fate was
Death.
Forward: from the victims perspective.
Backward: from the murderers perspective.

the same birds:
flying + singing; undermines
the epitome of bad sleep

the same fan:
cool + loud; makes me
ponder the state of bad sleep

the same room:
quiet + messy; walls moving
from the edge of a drunken night
