each day hurts

unfortunately,
i feel
just as
i look,
the sun
comes up,
hours pass
and then
the moon
waves,
another
morning
and things
haven't
changed,
my body
in pain,
i feel
it there
to greet
me each
new day.

Dead

My body slowly becomes intertwined with the soil,
Feeding the worms , giving back to the earth.
I have never felt so free.

Put Out the Fire

my life with you
hopelessly
embroiled in
affairs of heart
words enflame sorrow
screaming from bell jars
deafened through routine
our survival strategy
denies you me us

Woke Up On Christmas Morning

Alex woke up on Christmas morning
and discovered that she had slept
naked in front of the tree
and has a hangover
which was possibly
due to the bash
that was thrown
there last
night.

Throwing Up From Last Night's Party

Yvonne woke
up hungover
and found
herself naked
and on top of Kai
and that her
husband
Steven was
on top
of Oona's
bare belly
before going to
the bathroom and throwing
up
from last night's party.

Woke Up On The Sofa

Elliott
woke up on the sofa
naked and hungover before she
heard Jonah throwing up in the bathroom while the
other guests were still sleeping off that
wild house party they all
had last night.

Final Moments

Please leave me alone
Let me die in solitude
I'll set myself free
