I will never be enough for you
I can try everything
It still won’t be enough
              Never enough
               Never enough
I will try and fill my days with
                 Happiness
Whether I change my clothes
My hair, my makeup
It won’t matter
You will never see me
You don’t want to
Near or far
I will never be enough
         For you
It hurts so much
Knowing your out there
            Somewhere
I will never be enough
            never enough
If I change my clothes,
My hair,   my makeup
I still will never be enough
           Never enough
We wed in the snow
   divorced in the rain.
   The enemy you know
   embrace her in pain.
   We were soul mates,
   shared beating heart.
   Lust betrayed fates.
   Love played a part.
When does pursuing knowledge
become undone
Letting intuition
take over the day

Why does raw intelligence
die zero sum
Factually blinded
—last domino played

(The New Room: July, 2023)
who knows what lies underneath

here the land goes up and down

water drains

into rivers
