Lucid

I see her body from afar Facedown on a mountainside Head pointing to the river below She rises, stiff as a board, frozen Or dead, who lifted her, unsaid Outlined, illuminated in flame Undead Thawed Where are we going and why do we have to go so far? The look on your face first thing …

Background Noise

My lawyer died unexpectedly a few days ago. To most people, this probably wouldn't be a big deal. But for me... he was a savior. He helped me during my divorce and all the years of restraining orders and court hearings and restraining order violations. He made me feel safe. He spoke for me when …

Smoke and Mirrors

Divinity reaches down from the sky, or maybe right up through the ground, there really isn’t any way to tell, it happens so fast, the rug gets pulled out from under me, my soul is wearing thin and my heart is quaking from everything unknown. The sun isn’t really rising and setting, we’re spinning around …

Invisible Illness

Lets talk about partnership I’d like to let you in on the taboo Your house erupts in flames And spreads around the world Heat wave Work for the mob Just sit at home and practice Call from the loud speaker of the patrol car The entire audience will cry Civic alliance and all The modern …

Fragments

Trip on the weight of the world whirled through wicked window pane pain no one can hear the sound of shattering glass splintering or slowing heart beat blood spilling onto plush carpet shards puncture pallid membrane cutting couch and curtains coagulation tells you where I’ve been in case you’re looking but I know you’re not …

Silenced

In silence Quality is never an accident Secrets of the occult Beware Truth is all I’ve ever wanted Master the art of observing In silence Fortress of solitude I judged you more than a little Your head popped off and wouldn’t reattach Every time is the time Machine Take the reigns and oversee the whole …

Silent Destruction

Stylish and functional Vacancy and happiness Whilst having too much to drink Causing you to get mugged Ditch the generic They like to work In sterile environments Reported missing From years gone by Open for business If you’re in the market Home security system sale For the private and self-absorbed Who only perpetuate the problem …
