Vacuous
Less Is more Need Less Words and Walls of self assured Vacuous Vessels

Vessels Vacuous
A small kindness can’t sustain A screaming, starving child. One step at a time Won’t bridge the distance Between salvation and despair. I click that button. I like that you are running to beat cancer, But you won’t. The world boils and burns. I won’t share anymore, Because I don’t care anymore.

No solace in platitudes
When I die, I do not want vacuous truths at my written eulogy. I do not want people hear lies about me. “She was beautiful.” I am not. I was not. Beautiful people knew how to dress. They do not act like an awkward mess. “She was strong and brave.” I am not. I was not. Strong and brave people do not cry themselves to sleep. They do not consider themselves as a heap “She was smart.” I am not. I was not. Smart people are not afraid of choices they make. They are confident about the risks they take. Before I die, I want you to know that I am dull, anxious and dumb. I am broken and small like a piece of crumb.

Vacuous Truths
i am lost in the wisp of your faltering the fluttering of concrete entrenched into stoic rigmarole to reach out layer by layer peeling unearthing a catatonic subdivision of disjoint subdivisions a limit ordinal between touch and feeling where we kiss on the cusp of that silent ocean on the edge of sound drowned in the nebulous familiarity of a distant melody a tired resolve re  solve the old puzzle  muscle memory's misted amnesia half the pieces falling out the warn tinderbox inarticulate drowned severed isomorphisms over brea(d)thless infinities self adjoint matted topologies nestled snugly in the amniotic absolution of form before being       hands of matted ice contorted into perfection by the sculpting propensities   of undulations of estrangement, where we touch in the cusp of self reflections thousand mirrors inverted propensities                         infinite infinitesimals   nestled meromorphic partitions hidden corners in the brevity of dusk multiplicities fragmenting behind empty veils (  to be seen is to be made discrete    to be discrete is to flicker                                      and disappear   (inevitably invariable           inevitable invariability)) we        stand in a waterfall of gravel    and drown our voices in the choke of our cellophane hearts caked              into fillets of aphasic tundra   where we whisper our nothings in the desert on the boundary of silence our words                          escape us            like rats from shipwreck                                       we are                        disembowelled catharsis                            intentional and fatuous                                    retching upon itself        severed and free        and dead
