death
moments like spare
change lost in
the corners
of an old
couch
tears search for
eyes to
fill
as we hasten to that
place where sleep
grows like weeds
never to be
pulled
change lost in

The Book of Heroic Failures
lists people
who believe they did;
The Heroic Book of Failures
canonises people
who believe they didn’t.

A Challenge
If there are any decent poets left here,
I challenge you to a poetry battle.
You name the stakes.
I am a douche.
Come shut me up.

I stepped back...
And I wished I could be the audience,
but there was nothing to witness.

Void of color
Grey gray go away
Bring me flowers

water spout
an empty water spout
nothing left to give
empty inside
but not outside
dehydrated
light sensitivity
red spilling on the carpet
the perfect month
rise from the ashes
or stay hidden in them
nothing left to give
empty inside
but not outside
dehydrated
light sensitivity
red spilling on the carpet
the perfect month
rise from the ashes
or stay hidden in them

disheartened
lurking in shadows
seeking solace from sorrow
hoping to rest thoughts
invitation to partake
was given but at what cost

NO CALM MEANT
When dealing with issues in your family
It's easy to get overrun
Seems a cinch to make a lot of people angry
Then it is to please everyone

LGBTIQ (Is My Stash On Sideways?)
Hello
I’m your bathing suit hero
I grew this stash for Movember
It’s handlebars if you hadn’t guessed
Of course I’m a girl
Want to see my birth certificate?
