Give up the ghost in the closet. Don’t make any noise.Don’t hide the sheet behind clothes.Remain soft inside.Stop crossing all legs and ankles.Keep hard outside.Keep your arms glued to your side.Don’t sit for long.Give up all clapping and whistling.Shove the ghost forward.Keep looking in the mirror.Don’t stop anymore.Don’t think of the last person.Shove the lies.Give…

the desert still misses the absent rainwaterno one thought of the drain covers hiding the stagnant watereventually ending up in the oceanthe dead bodies ha e been buried with those already pastthe dead stick close to the deadthe music videos immortalized the alienated and angstythere were future interventions among the massesall viewed as part of…

Honestly, can a person be this stupid in life? Tragically, you come to mind. Many words I want to tell you. They are not nice words. Ones you will find offensive. Those that should linger like cigar smoke. You might even find yourself wanting to cry. Too bad, not enough sad. I sleep just fine…

For when I wake up you will not be there or will you.You have stood by my side for so long.The face is familiar. The voice is comforting.I have not wanted anything different since the beginning.I could not imagine the end of you, the end of me, the end of us.Here in another time, in…

They march like ants heading to a log,but I do not want to sit on a log,and those hardworking ant legs shouldn’t resemble my thoughts.The marching song is stuck somewhereinside this operating brain of mine,the ants go marching one by one,hurrah, hurrah.Hurrah, hurrah, the thumbs are gone,as no one is watching me work hard,to witness…

Look up high and see the clouds in the vast sky. Lean your head back to catch as many rays. You will be better off with a little bit of color than none. Your race will thank you for it later. You try to forget those reminders from long ago. How slippery they are in…

Wake up, time to wake up now.It’s time to open up because the sun is out not in.The clouds will form characters for a better place.Only in a dream can this happen.There is not a dull color to be seen.And nothing bad results from calm space.Once in a lifetime is no longer necessary.Forever people take…

Our knees are tortured. Our minds have weakened We’ve been doing life a long time. We want to call this home Find comfort in our hearts. Believe the ones to protect preservation. Small changes can reinforce our survival. Our veins are still hungry. Our smiles can be hiding our progress. Go easy on our actions.…

Will you trust the one with the laziest of eyes?Believe him to tell you the truthafter countless lies.Will you admit he is a night-timedemon in disguise?Believe when he prowls in the hallways and hidden spaces.Will you be good and honestwhen the sheets turn black?

Revenge is a dish served hot or cold. It doesn’t matter how much the bowl will hold.Or how it is placed it on the table.And whether those involved are unstable.As long as the enemy puts it into his mouth, chews and swallows it south.Revenge can be removed from the enemy,through some kind of waste smelling…

I was angry with my friend;  I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe:  I told it not, my wrath did grow.  And I waterd it in fears, Night & morning with my tears:  And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles.  And it grew both…
