the secret
that isn’t a secret
after i tell you
the secret

of what makes
my steak tacos
so delish

steak
cooked in beer.

"untitled 3"

life support
only works
when there
is life to
support.

kid

she showed me her heart that
day, freezing rain slapping
the roof relentlessly while
i picked through her defenses

as she showed me her heart
i showed her mine

one was beautiful
one was mine.

"caught"

i keep missing work
because i wake up
drunk from the night
before

when i call in
i whisper

"i'm not coming in,
today, i've been
caught in a
cobweb"

i scream when i
hang up the phone,
sit down and open
another bottle

next day
the same thing

"i'm not coming in,
today, i've been
caught in a
cobweb, again"

the scream is real
it details the fear
in my hearts beat,

eventually i'll stop
calling
eventually i'll stop
trying

"untitled 2"

a loud voice is
silenced
by a million voices

regardless of
right or
wrong

"untitled 1"

we keep waiting for
the music
to start
and the doves to
magically
fly in

but what if
the music never
starts
and the birds
never appear

shouldn’t we
just dance
anyways

d-day

sometimes we look past the
flowers
and the soft skin
past the cage
but never to get
to the heart

just to be inside
where we think we're safe

safety doesn't exist
not in this place
never in this place

where blood boils
where marrow leaks

safety is what we seek
but we are to weak

can you hear the coyotes
off in the distance
they're waiting for us to die
