The skyline,
Is a blank canvas.
The dawn and dusk,
Express their emotions daily.
With pointy shadows,
To guide their paths.
Each showing,
The time's true colours.

It's Never Too Late

Beneath the Waves

From the bottom of the ocean, A song rings out. A dirge beneath the waves. An elegy for the earth. Follow my voice and slip away.

An Ode to the Place in my Dream

An island in the mist Old and forgotten A cliff side beaten by the sea Waves crash against its sides far below Atop the cliff a tree Seemingly dead But oh so stubbornly living Its fellows long dead Their children abandoning the cliff But not this tree It refuses to leave It never blossoms and is always bare But it lives there On the cliff beaten by the sea On this island in the mist

Dream Invasion

In the dead of night the culprit stole; Into your dream to take you whole, Lacing thoughts with such blight; Stealing your heart for its own delight. Within your head it creeps and lurks; Placed by terror and dark’s deep quirks, Cold and sharp behind your eyes; Pouring up in incriminating cries. The blank of white streams in tears; Forcing out your primal fears, Twisted into targeted hate; It strips you of your chosen fate. Now you are but to paint the lines; A story to tell of her crimes, Prose written in desperate plea; Unable to hide, unable to flee. Forever stuck in the cold tide; A surge which you are forced to ride, It was but

Untitled

Uncomfortable in my clothes and skin, I scratch at them both again and again. Cloth bound tight across my chest, Hides my eyes from now-flat breasts. My jeans show off my curvy hips- Though it looks good, a frown curves my lips. In the mirror, I am unsure of what I want to see, But I know that this person is not me.

if i could invent words

i would like to create a word for what one feels when they realize: if we were birds, the only cage we would be in are the ones we create ourselves. how many times have our wings been clipped by our own hands alone. christ, i'm sorry. dear past self: i apologize for trying to define you; for definition is the metaphorical cage to change. the only limit the sky has is how far we can see.

nothing left but the paranoia

they say crows never forget and i am terrified this is true. see, the other week, i hit a crow with my car & they saw. they saw, and if they remember, then they know, and if they know, they will come. here is the thing: i am terrified they can see me & i am terrified they can not. my thoughts lately are a spiral, a maze, with an entrance but no exit. i am lost. i am lost, and they know. last week, i saw a cat, eating a crow, and in my mind, i am the cat, i am the crow, i am the car that hit the crow, i am my thoughts lost in my maze, and what if they see me.

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

nailed to the counter

fivey eyed the barn door, her right forearm tingled with a quite familiar burn, it informed her tone: "you nannys ain't dealin' proper. i had hoped this would stay above-board, but if you wanna wake snakes, let's frolic!" her right arm shot out, glowing energy pulled three armed men through splintering wood; the barn creaked and the men screamed as their bodies were dragged across the dirt before being launched out the far wall. fivey stomped her left foot; the two shotguns trained on her slithered, hissed, and— with both barrels— bit the two closest men in their necks. her right foot slid behind her in a perfect half-circle,

Where Nothing Dares Settle

we assume the fish that appears to advance without moving does so, effortlessly; as if the sea itself merely wills them forward we long to swim like this to hold our position in the universe while the earth churns its oceans past, as if its motion were ours and perhaps it might be if we could only comprehend how much lag truly resides in the linkage between space and time, then we'd know water like it knows us our ins and outs and the low places where nothing dares settle for long we'd know why sleep evades when we're most spent, as memories older than our own activate, once we traverse a certain set proximity

Sound Carries Near a Salt Flat

the noise of a dying man is that of a humpack whale reverberating across the desert thermocline, tunneling between the dune and the horizon. he whines, low, not loud, but it surrounds us; ocean pressure straining at the sides of a submerging ship. the harpoon head of the frag bomb burns in his leg - flesh irreparably breached - as that groaning calls navigation signs to some unknown counterpart far across the sand. I can swear to you he will be gone in forty-eight hours from the sepsis if medical can't make it to this fucking shelled-out excuse for a town by tomorrow evening. I give a sedative still, his cries carry like those son

I always love to see the sunrise and sunset of a large, bustling city. It just fills me with joy that each of us, in this city, see the sunrise and sunset, and start or end their days, all in different ways.
