every sip
brings back
all that
intoxicated me
in the
first place.

one holiday
all that remained was the tinsel
glinting from beneath the bed
the only reminder that once
the house echoed with laughter
and warm smells and something called love.

chalk
was green chalk we used
to draw hearts overlapping
across the gaps of the front walk
the moss blended so nicely
despite the weeds that grew
faster than our fingers could pluck
so we plucked at everything
cursing the lack of red chalk
and clean pavement to redraw us.

pens and mortality
i will write this pen into the grave

acute awareness
ignorance is often shared
without selfishness.

in her house, a farce
for all intents and purposes
her company only sees
bright and airy rooms
locked those closet doors
containing all her fabrications
labeled neatly each
sunday through saturday.

sibling
my pain is well practiced and has evolved
long before i ever gave a thought
why it is so encompassing
engrossing
and without end.

the math is on point
too little
too late
to give
two fucks.

cheating fuck
tonight found myself
in the favor of
a good bourbon.
my scotch gave me
the evil eye.

‘he was vast’
she rises and falls atop
the shallow tides of his chest
a little girl once more
fingers floating adrift
the ocean of his palm
fighting the currents
once that had born life
awaiting now to carry him
away.
