when the moon
blinked, he saw

me, angry
but not mad. i

have stars under
my tongue. i
won’t swallow

and my bones
scream to be let out
from under my skin—

they are the fire
on the surface

don't wake me. i'm not dreaming

unwind (haiku)

the clock's tick burrows
holes into my skull. the day
goes by too slowly

i'm here to visit my sister

death is not knocking
on my door;
i am knocking
on his

come back. we miss you.

egoistical

cosmology teaches us
that we are not the centre of
the universe

chemical straitjacket

my hands and
feet are
bound;
only the shackles
cannot be seen

medicated.

desperation

i’ve been
praying to god lately
and i’m not even
religious

no
scratch that

i’ve been
praying for god.
i’m praying that
god can
find a little
bit of humanity
in the humans
he watches over

falling out of love

you are beautiful
but are you
art?

you pulled a cover over your
canvas and
shut me out.
