May 9th, 2024 Exploring artwork within a museumTrying to search insanity for reasonBringing it all to the front… We ask for a map, but the cartographer diedWe ask for directions, but the signposts liedThe road isn’t smooth, it’s a bit of a rideWould you believe it if I said we’ve cried More than we did…

December 21st, 2023 We’re a watcher and a worrierSomeone who has ruined everything a thousandfoldAnd children who want to live their livesWe’re beings craving life beyond the everydayAnd those condemned to crawling in the memoriesDaily news is just a normal maelstromHiding from news streams because everything is worse We just went to live our lifeBut…

December 5th, 2023 Soft flesh so easy to cutSupple skin so easy to marFinding ways to mark here and thereAlways new methods near and far Till the ground, plow deep furrowsTend each row and findRed crop blossoming at the end Carve out feelings while working the soilCrush dissonant feeling in each clump splitWatch the scarlet…

October 26th, 2023 At times we look backTaking strolls through shelves filled with dusty memoriesImages once treasured and tended with care, now left to fadeA fate worse than death, because our love and our hate gave you lifeYou fed off of the energy devoted to emotion, the time we spent tending those memories neatly filed…

August 9th, 2023 In the morning as it breaksAs the day itself wakesWe take comfort in knowingIt’s you who sets us glowing These rhymes are immature and childishBut the feelings you instill are wildishYour presence creates stability that’s groundedAnd considered by our system shockingly renowned Though our waking may be from a distanceThe thought of…

September 12th, 2023 Playing hide and seek with emotions. Trying to outwit the red flags and premonitions. Knowing the stakes, you try to hide. Why won’t you take credit for your part of the ride? Your life ended and mine never started. I’m sure realizing that smarted. Endlessly scraping the bottom of the barrel. Always…

June 12th, 2023 It’s so cute. Watching you replace me. Seeing notifications for co-op games we used to play come up for me, knowing you’re playing with someone else. How do they feel knowing they’re a replacement?  That you’re filling the hole of 3 AM video calls, weekend long text conversations that never ended, planned…

May 29th, 2023 In the time between each calling There’s a hole that grows. As the time passes, weasels seek it out and build their den. But in that moment… Words from you light up the darkness. Stability through similes, affection through amalgamations Life from you is nimble, quick and queer and qualitative As the…
