Pa/in

Can’t be seen,
Can’t be touched,
Can’t be smelled,
But it is there

Constant & consistent,
it grows.
Powerful & persistent,
it revels.

is everywhere:
In my heart,
In my mind,
In my daily life.

takes over life,
takes over people,
demands death,
demands people.

Mexi Chick

When **** Mexicans come to my house for tacos, beans & chicken
I make sure that the chicken they're eatin' is very dead & not kickin'

Tear/s

Tear/s

fall endlessly like raindrops to the ocean;
Like little soldiers, one after the other,
They fall just as the enemy targets them.

Why am I here?
Why do I tell you this?
Why do these fall in my face when my insides feel nothing?

Then again, what is a smile with happiness in it?

death

i see death. in air walls.
in your body, i see death.
in your heart, i already am.
in sights distant. and sources
of seeing, death descends.
like battles. sleepy.

Fire

Fire

A match lights my body,
Every inch of me is in flames,
I'm burning recklessly,
I'm a bonfire that can't be tamed.

Smoke fills the room,
The image around me blurs,
I reach out for you,
But your hand is sealed in hers.

The fires getting bigger,
I'm running out of air,
I'm choking on the panic,
The knowledge no one's there.
