I volunteer to be the next Mars rover. Send me up there. I will collect you rocks, no problem.
In the absence of your body
I see a rolling summer night
Fireflies on soft skin
Meat seared maroon
Fire licking the sky
Memories feeding its flame

Burn on, beautiful elegy
Summer is saved for you

A lot of people’s problems with injustice and cruelty is that they don’t like being aware of it and would do anything to go back to pretending that nothing is wrong

That haunted and heavy
baritone drawl fills halls
in my mind, no space left unsung
no forgiveness begun
memories blur laughter & pain
your mark is #unmissable
though no one dares ask
where the cut in the wall had come from

The ghost of your hand
stays only for me to see

swallowed the sun
in silent reverence
of what i thought i wanted
only to find
its burn lingered
longer than its taste

Staring down the barrel
of that suave dusty highway
Rushing toward nothing
with nowhere to go
What am I chasing
down bent sideways byways
Why am I pushing
for things I don’t know?

The sky was dark, freckled with stars,
and cut with the smile of God
The night was young, or so it felt,
while the lovers kept dancing on
The hope was heavy, weighed by sun,
and the promise of darkness end
With a smile fade that could still be seen
while you gently held my hand

the clear reflection of faith
in your eyes, in mine

Always pictured loving
as the epilogue of two
the last thing I see
before my dying view

Treated like a prize
held like a goal
objects of affection
never food for a soul

But you love like footsteps
at a slow steady pace
filling my chapters
with a soft, soft grace

Brand association
with my loving ache
Pairs beautifully
with tender laughter
and crisp apple cakes
Packaged up for purchase
my daydreams and my tears
Hoping someone buys them
and it quells all my fears

Advert attempts aged in apathy
actioned before it began
Never who you made me to be
which explains this sinking sand
If I wanted it more maybe I’d have it
— I tell myself to sleep
If I wanted him more maybe I’d know it
I tell myself to dream

laser focus
cellophane
Umbrella wrapped
in pouring rain
Chasing lights
late night life
won’t ever find
Again

A threshold, a precipice
Perhaps a step before a fall
I stood in that doorway
At once forever, at once not at all
To believe it took my mother
To remind me of the worth
To see this haunted house
And step out for my birth

Well, that.
It almost made me laugh.
