I wear polo shirts
to cover the hurt,
marks on the neck
from a night
where life was asking me
to settle the final check.
glass sweat /
brass vines breathe /
sun-caged in clock‑teeth /
one amber falls —
the quell is whole

a poem collapses language into feeling.
connection isn’t absent—it’s shattered.
grief lives in the space where meaning fails.

Love, once central, now spirals—
fragmented, ******, falling inward.
It doesn’t speak. It disintegrates.

Beauty isn’t verdict.
            It moves—
     slow, sudden.

One eye sees chorus.
      One hears a bell.

We met in the middle.
      Called it human.

          No greetings.
      No apologies.

Just the sentence,
already burning.

Silence held the shape.
        We stepped in.

cold in my chest where charcuterie burned
pages of lifelines now crackle and moan
prayers for a future never returned
and silence within, the loudest I’ve known

ghosted in comment box  
    where goodbyes decay, unread  
                I draft silence now—  
  syntax can't cradle absence  
nor data warm the soul
i didn’t want to,
but i wrote anyway.
cracked open
like a shell,
flooding with memory.

some words
arrive as if they’ve waited
their whole lives
to be read.
this one is about that hemingway quote lingering in my head sometimes.

"Archive Soul”
  
An archive opens:  
folder titles like breaths you forgot.  

Inside, your silhouette fractalised—  
flesh parsed into metadata.  

Memory = 84% accurate.  
Love = untagged.

makes one wonder, with 84?
i'm a lost soul,
ash for pieces,
stranded
with failures
that pray
in quiet memories,
to be remembered.
