You
Reassuring and safe,
I like how I can come to you -
Knowing you will never judge.
Of course you'll express your view.
But everyone follows their own path,
However stupid, however smart.
Understanding, it's what you do!
I turn to you when I feel stuck,
Cos you always have the answer -
Like someone's beautiful mama would.
You hate that expression,
But I find you endearing.
Showed my own mom your image last night -
Asked her what she thought...
'She's nice, Billy,' she said,
Despite knowing nothing...
I like how I can come to you -
Knowing you will never judge.
Of course you'll express your view.
But everyone follows their own path,
However stupid, however smart.
Understanding, it's what you do!
I turn to you when I feel stuck,
Cos you always have the answer -

You hate that expression,
But I find you endearing.
Showed my own mom your image last night -
Asked her what she thought...
'She's nice, Billy,' she said,

Mother-Wound

I have been blessed
with time
but find it difficult
to believe
I have been alive
almost double-over the years
my mother lived
We were not close
before she gave up the ghost
and having matured
through deep introspection
I came to know the whys
of the mother-wound
She was only 14
when she married
my father, who was 16—
normal for that period of time
Their love story was great

Petals and Stars
Under the void stars crumble to dust,
hands tremble as petals tear softly,
the air hums with the weight of endings.
One by one, petals fall like faint whispers.
Counting stars that flicker on borrowed time.
The heavens bleed with quiet inevitability.
Breath tightens as skies fracture apart,
petals scatter, unanswered prayers to the abyss.
The apocalypse looms patient and cruel.
Counting, plucking, waiting in silence...
Hope burns like a distant fading ember
and the world waits, fragile and undone.
hands tremble as petals tear softly,
the air hums with the weight of endings.
One by one, petals fall like faint whispers.
Counting stars that flicker on borrowed time.
The heavens bleed with quiet inevitability.
Breath tightens as skies fracture apart,
petals scatter, unanswered prayers to the abyss.
The apocalypse looms patient and cruel.
Counting, plucking, waiting in silence...
Hope burns like a distant fading ember
and the world waits, fragile and undone.

commitment issues
stairwell breathe concrete dust and regret
spiralin like my mood
up or down
dependin on the direction you’re goin
the steps know my weight by now
the drag
the heaviness
the purpose
third floor landin
where fluorescents stutter
I test the bottom rail with one foot
steel cold thru sole of my chucks
then ease myself up onto the edge
where certainty meets empty air
I pressed against the railin
metal singin into my palms
and I leaned into nothin

My only wish
..
And if my life should end tomorrow
and I sink into dust and dirt,
My only wish is that you'd know
I never meant to make you hurt.
If I could make the time go backwards
If granting wishes was my skill,
I'd put together what has fractured
and we'd laugh together still.

Mouse in my attic
I have a mouse living in my attic
She crawled all night making static
Got someone who is a mice terminatic
He said “you have two lovers living in your attic”
Now that is definitely very problematic
Although he didn’t sound very dramatic
I also don’t want to be melodramatic
But they shouldn’t be living in my attic
“They should die” and I wasn’t very diplomatic
I’m also a guy who is not very romantic
No one should be living in my attic
Not love, nor anyone who is the least sympathetic

List #8 Things That Are Wrong With Me
1. I have ADHD. Not like "Oh, ha ha, I forgot to do that, I'm so ADD", I mean I have it to the point of it being a clinically diagnosed noticeable disability. I've come to like my colorful, flashing LED lights mind, but ADHD has made my life difficult.
2. I have wildly warped corneas, a condition known as Keratoconus. I'm overdue for having my corneas replaced with a dead person's. I just haven't been in the mood to have it done, you know? Especially since I would have to be completely still for something like 48 hours and I can't be reasonably still for even one hour (see...

my self pity is ugly ..
I believe in nothing except
my own culpability, sitting
in the café feeling guilty, of course
I'm sorry and not entirely
for myself, but yes, I worry ..

earth
wilting in the dryness of dread
a cruel world with everyone smiling
I always wonder are they lying
they have no sorrow
or are they actors on a stage
how did I get left out
I didn't get the script
I'm just getting through life
missing the secret cues
that say smile now
cry here this is an acceptable time
cut the grief you should be done
oh forget it you should be happy
ignore the foreboding feeling in your gut
when kids aren't safe today
cause our women are targets
because our beautiful earth...
