Untitled draft idea 10/24
I’ve perfected crying in ways Others can’t see From the anger that demands to be seen But is brushed to the side Waddayou want to eat tonight? Anything is fine Guess it’s over Even though Your hand was right on the wound I felt the grooves of your palm Beat with my chest like a…

Untitled poem 4
The mirror rests on the wall Nestled between paintings of sad clowns and lilacs. It’s foggy and there’s a scratch, Sticker residue in the corner, and cracks. The wooden frame has lost its varnish It really needs to be touched up We Look deep into each others eyes anyway Waging silent wars of self My…

Watercolor words
Your voice is color And when you speak Words in watercolor Escape your lips Splotching your shades and hues Perfect pastels on my blank canvas. The impressionistic piece left behind Is up to me to interpret And i will Despite your intention So when I dip the brush And prepare to paint I try to…

Untitled poem 2

The Crows
The crows cry They know I’m stumbling through Looking for truths that are sitting right in front of me They find it funny actually Because they’ve known for an eternity. The caw of the crow will echo before the fall It cuts sharp as the beak that tears through the dinner carcass It caws because…

Crawl
We’ll laugh, heartily As they beg for forgiveness At the chapped hands of the ones they oppressed. The generations of sheep That their Wolf in Wall Street suits Lured into the Infested digestive tract of their beast that eats us whole- 3 square meals right on schedule. So we’ll laugh when we’re at their door…
