People prepare meals before a body dies

but never prepare
recipes when a body
begins to blossom.

Suffocated

You were
rare air
in my lungs
 
I lie
vacant-eyed
as my chest
stills

It's hard being a part of everything

Especially when
your seat remains
empty at the scene
 
but filling the air  
with questions  
demanding
answers.

Do...

Do trees desire leaves post-fallen,
And the shadows they create?
And can humans truly long for a man made up of mistakes?

In my twenties

I thought I had
it figured out

but today

I breathe a
sigh of relief
knowing very
little about
anything.

This one's for the kid

who sat in  
the corner    
beating that    
shadow on    
the wall.

The skin I’m in

Ed Gein
collected
trophies

I collected
memories

did you
love this
haunted
display

Bourbon and Trouble Part 3

I drink one
She drinks me
The watch tells me when to leave

The hardest bitches write the shortest ones

I sit there watching
them write beautifully
without looking into
mirrors directly

but i'll always end
up becoming the
problem of this
story unfolding.

Missionary

One caress at a time   
Man, lover, mentor  
Staring into intimacy  
Hand in hand
