jesus and sisters
not wholly in belief of
each other, and the biscuits
they leave on the white kitchen
counter still have two egg yolks
and a cooling cup of coffee.

Prefix, Root, and Suffix

We never say "I love you," because since I first kicked you headfirst out of the womb we've been the matches relighting each other's lantern through each power outage. There are some things too powerful for words. We don't say "I love you," because it's too often been used as reassurance after a betrayal of its message, because it has so often been reduced (much like we were from our names to our birth's quantity). It is not our measure. Instead, we've learned to weigh emotion in palms - you, holding the aftermath of my body, while I screamed over tears - a banshee, as I buried and mourned so many realities, possibilities, because

My Fallen Angel

Her wings be not white but blackened and burned. Singed by the fall her actions hath earned. Her grace is absent. Neither here or there. I cannot find it and I do not care for though her halo be shattered and rent, it changes not that she's heaven-sent.

Rejection

I gave love Only to get hate In return The pain of rejection Striked hard Breaking my heart I fixed it, eventually But I made sure It would never be broken again

Dead love

When love dies Leaving behind the shreds Of something that was once beautiful A little bit of you Of who you really are Dies along with it As your broken heart Slowly falls apart Bringing you excruciating pain It doesn't matter How many times it happens The pain is the same Getting used to it Doesn't help one bit And we never learn the lesson For we keep opening ourselves Only to face disappointment Again and again In the end of it all Only the memories remain Both good and bad Filling our minds And raising questions The "Why" and the "How" That led something pure Something seemingly perfect To utter oblivion Such sadness and pain Leave sc

cross of the open wound, i've been on the deathbed. i have pleaded with your angers and made peace with the red. around the corner you are listening, two steps of isolated waist. craze me with one grasp in lace. look on your facet harmonizes with the falling reign. purple with prose like it matters to the vagrant. scarlet 'round the ankles and sunlit neck bit. your sway makes moonpace look hectic. eclipse me, sweet as the dusk. cold as the dim fog of lust. slow as the silk of touch. i've been on the deathbed, drunk. crossing off sins with full plunge. dripping and scurrilous with each expunge. faculties harmed and waning, your thrust a

choker

please do not ask me to keep you, blurry and greedy and bleeding, don't let my weakness bring shame. bark christened with a new frame cracks with the terror of a new day buried. hold me like cherry blossoms keep our secrets tucked neatly within, no grins though the knowledge spreads thin. ivy on the dashboard, the leather of the backseat, the smooth, wet metal of the engine. when you make moves there are sparks from your crushed bones rustling like the leaves that you're leaving behind, hurried. please let your desperate grave of a mouth have the power to be kind to my name.

epitaph

the girl i did not run over looks at me with eyes that say that i am part of the problem, when i could have been her solution, looks at me like she’s blaming me for swerving away, like she’s measured every one of her steps from her door to the curb, and i am the one thing she failed to account for. i almost double back to try and tell her all the same things that i have been told but i do not. her feet are too heavy, by now. her stomach too hollow. she does not need more empty words to swallow, she does not need stop signs or yield signs or ‘for the love of god think of everyone you are leaving behind’ signs. i do no

letters on leaving.

i wrote my first suicide letter in 10th grade. they told me it didn't count if you felt like dying unless you had it down on paper like a vetoed birth certificate. i've rewritten it enough times since to realize i could never leave with a proper goodbye. goodbye is too heavy a word for paper to hold and i was never brave enough for the kind of courage it takes to tell them why. why they weren't enough to keep me here. but i'm finally learning a different kind of bravery- the kind it takes to stay. stay. i learned to wear death like rope burn my junior year my senior year we became friends but i finally stopped cutting the insides of wrist

This Is Not A Prayer

God I write this to you, This is not a prayer Not such an inconsequential waste of air, No, no I can hardly breathe From on all the prayers Wasted on your ears, Nor stand... From how long I've knelt at your feet. This is a letter Sent from a grieving sinner Written Whilst still clutching the hand You stole from him From me. Two hands ,in fact, One so small I hardly noticed When it ceased clutching me. I write this to ask Not to pray As prayers seem to have no worth to you Surely not mine at least. I ask only That you return them to me. Let me clutch these hands So tightly Till they might return my grasp. Because as I am right now I dou

Depression

Trapped in darkness, Like a tiny box closing in, choking me. They call it nothing, But we few sufferers call it depression, A black gaping hole in our lives, They call it attention seeking, we call it life

Moss Green

Moss green fence slats lay decaying in the backyard, half dried from recent rain. The squirrels rustle across dead leaves, fleeing barking dogs and near-silent cats prowling for a quick meal. Pollen saturates the air; mushrooms grow in the shade of fallen branches as the fuzz of lichen creeps over a trunk felled in favor of a wooden fence.

cultural dissonance

1. i have flown around the world and you - you remind me of home aunties, uncles, cousins teta and jiddo men and women brown from dry heat and desert sun but then there are waves crashing against sandy seashores and there are palm trees ripe with falling fruit fresh at the market and there are men fishing at the phoenician wall it's give and take and like this land you are never selfish 2. i have flown around the world and you - you remind me of all that i miss so i'll tell you you're beautiful when this sense of discord is poured down my throat and dissonance shows up like an eclipse but you can still find me in the dark and y

Beautiful imagery of a simple, everyday scene which a lot of us pass over, never noticing its beauty.
