new sun
that
morning's
ember,
how it
jumps,
it flies
on the
edge of
rumors,
each
descending
into the
corners
of
my room,
scraping
the
darkness
away,
leaving
my world
smoldering
while the
sun's
bloom
moves on.

Burnt Rice
Fatigue and strain take over
Heavy eyes drift shut
Burnt rice brings back the present

Games People Play
People don't play games, games play people
Whatever game you're playing is the game you're playing with yourself.

water (in nature)
the warmth
of the sun
catching me
standing
there
at one
there
of my
favorite
chosen
scenic edges,
trees and
blue sky
copied on
the surface,
while slight
hills
dominate
each side,
caressing
her flow
downward
into lands
below,
and i
stand still
while
daydreaming
with her.

moonlight and magnolias
the
full moon's
light
generously
shown down
on the
magnolia's
blossoms,
each one
relentless
in their
pursuit
to place
their sweet
fragrance
on the
night air.

Blah 8-2-oh
Why do we torture ourselves with this shit?
Why do we sit through any of this?
Here I am / there you were
They were once near
Now, no more

The story survives… until it doesn’t.
The writer smiles,
ash on their fingers:
“Chaos, I borrowed
your teeth to bite
eternity. Now eat.”

I Already Paid The Rent And Am Not Moving Out
I stepped into this apartment.
It looked like I hit the jackpot.
That's before someone came in.
She's a blonde bikini chick named Sabrina.
She told the landlord she's staying put.

She Was Teasing My Friend
She was teasing my friend.
He walked over and grabbed her rump.
She kicked his nuts hard.
