fighting ourselves
we never see
  -- that alien ship

it’s not the video;
she really looks
like that

tiny scream
under my boot
  first step on Mars

what will be
my last sensation
before I die -
will it be the
touch
of your hand within mine?

what will be
the final taste in my mouth
before I die -
will it be your
kiss
moist upon my lips?

what will be
the very last thing I hear
before I die -
will it be your
whisper
in my ear?

what will be
the last sight in my eyes
before I die -
will it be your
face
looking at me?

what will be
my last thought
before I die -
will it be
of you
and our life together?

what will be
has not yet happened, but
before I die
I will live every day
with you
until what may be becomes
what will be

serpentine road
turns into the sun;
   my throttle opens

bullies
online and off-
they hide from their demons
by becoming monsters themselves
in vain

Alone
in the desert
of my sable anguish -
a solitary wildflower,
I weep.

twilight -
above my uncut grass
two fireflies

Sweet thing
with vacant eyes,
don't back up off of me.
**** dancer, please be my girl
tonight.

full flower moon
in its halo -
the space station
