"Rusted Harp"
Strings crust over
like ancient ossuary bones,
once vibrant with touch,
now mute in neglect.
Each pluck would be agony—
a resurrection of rust,
a hymn to how
we let beauty corrode.

I aspire
to be calm
and reasonable
in every situation
to be most effective
at optimising my joy and happiness.

Is ‘wisdom’
the principles
of how to live
in an optimally joyful and happy way?

Look at me.
look at me
Do you see what I see?
The world?
All aflame!
And yet, you dare hold your breathe,
When I ask you, if you love me?
How dare you!
Can you not see how much I need you?
Can you see me?
Can you see the piece of me you have left shattered on the floor
You kicked me around, and left me
To die there.
How dare you.
May you forever be haunted
By the memory of seeing my lifeless body
Dangle from your ceiling.
