insidious sinking
this nightmare already
saw dawn
yet it breaks again

there is no tomorrow                                        
...rhetorically speaking
Taru Marcellus Nov 2024
sadistic numbers
                               the map bleeds
                               a projected suicide

                                                        ­         too close to call

the heads yelp anyway
      decimals spilling out
                                           to fill the gaps

THIS JUST IN
the world is ending
the world is ending
the world is ending

                                   don't stop watching!

What the birds overheard

From death to passwords

Migrated to tract housing

Became postage on a slow moving envelope

Somehow ended up as a flag on the moon

what of                
this view
can be cherished
without looking                                                            
the clouds are rolling mountains
humanity, a string of lightbulbs

this cat has seen me die 8 lives
an asphyxiated sphinx
suffocating on my own questions
Taru Marcellus Oct 2024
before i had
i wanted
before i wanted
i lacked

                                   there is still poverty in achievement
                                   shiny things have pockets of their own
                                   cavities deep with desire
                                   ravenous with dissatisfaction
Writing Prompt: "desire is dangerous," a line from Micah Bournes' poetry book- Here Comes This Dreamer
