Dots and Lines
Above the high-rise buildings
with their rectangles
and squares of light
Above the Circle K sign
in the distance
Above the restaurant across the street's
clusters of patio lights,
in the murky gray night sky
with its blinking dots of helicopters and planes
the ISS enters from the Northwest,
just like the app said it would.
It's a bright silver dot
on the horizon
but small
a modest engagement ring's diamond
From the astronauts' perspective
250 miles above
North America is a...

painful memories
pacific love
misbelief in his baby-blue eyes
aching goodbyes

it tastes like a memory, but looks like a dream
I miss the way love feels
pressed against my skin
electric and meaningful
The memory of your hands
turn to ash
and I'm left holding
nothing more
than the memory of a dream
And I hate that I'm so empty
every touch feels ghostly
and unreal
Your heat turned cold
to whisper past on the breeze
like wayward leaves
that don't know how
to find their way home
I miss the way you felt
the way you touched
the way you fucked
I missed the way you loved me ...
pressed against my skin
electric and meaningful
The memory of your hands
turn to ash
and I'm left holding
nothing more
than the memory of a dream
And I hate that I'm so empty
every touch feels ghostly
and unreal
Your heat turned cold
to whisper past on the breeze
like wayward leaves
that don't know how
to find their way home
I miss the way you felt
the way you touched
the way you fucked
I missed the way you loved me ...

Rona...leave me the f**k alone-a
Stepping on a gravestone
reaching for a wishbone
feeling like Kevin from "Home Alone"
social distancing with the gnomes.
Standing in the "Drop Zone"
putting out orange cones,
watching for the Amazon drone
to bring some TP home.
Screaming out to the unknown
hanging with "Hambone-Hambone"
playing our trombones
waiting for Sylvester Stallone.
Listen ya old crone,
you smell like Grandma's cologne
and a grey-haired kidney stone...
"Leave me the Fuck Alone".

black river rising
I don't know what
will save
us
I don't know what
CAN save
us...
maybe nothing
can save us
at all
that morning you
weren't sitting
next to
me
the air grew bitter
and heavy
on my
skin
words turned to
ricin in my
throat
the sounds of your absence as
silent as footsteps on my
grave
leaving my heart a stone to
be cast into the deepest
part of a black
river
will save
us
I don't know what
CAN save
us...
maybe nothing
can save us
at all
that morning you
weren't sitting
next to
me
the air grew bitter
and heavy
on my
skin
words turned to
ricin in my
throat
the sounds of your absence as
silent as footsteps on my
grave
leaving my heart a stone to
be cast into the deepest

Surviving The Storm
you were a dervish of unintelligible words
and projectiles
from the moment I stepped through the door
a tornado of frenzy
your allure hiding nervous disorders
as if you’re waiting for me to blow up
the world
scamper off into the night to leave
you scraping through desolation and rubble
like last time
the time before
I understand
so I let the plate you threw hit me
leaving a spray of ceramic and
a trickle of red to run down my cheek
as a mockery of tears
the shaker hit my shoulder
then the wall...
and projectiles

Defenestrating Childship
27 / 30
Defenestrating Childship
I don’t believe I ever had childhood fantasies
mostly, because I remember very little
no smiles no laughter
more of pain & what came after
always running
from something
from someone
trying to escape
I DO remember once ----
tried to escape by swallowing
all the pills in our medicine cabinet
hoping to enter dreamlands
where 5 years less of
adolescents’ fantasies
might thrive
I failed in my attempt
woke up to lectures
woke...

Sepia
Sepia
A pink canvas to paint our dreams
Turns into a grand
Amphitheater of clouds
Whose soul is the sepia
That preserves tears in amber

Turns into a grand
Amphitheater of clouds
Whose soul is the sepia
That preserves tears in amber

Bad Ass Bitch
did my best to make you happy
never a good friend
you treat me so badly
[I]
don't have the strength to fight you
[I]
don't want to keep making you angry
[I]
don't even need a reason why
-
i'll be there when you come around
if distance is what you need
then I won't push the situation
guess I can at least hold my head up high
without a thought of who's wrong or right
I will say this though
being an ass doesn't make...
