“Life Sucks” doesn't suck.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

- Hilarious, #satirical, and deeply human - like Monty Python with a colonoscopy.

- A must-read for anyone just in need of a damn good #laugh.

- Darkly #funny, brutally honest, and weirdly comforting.

Life Sucks is snort out loud funny. Nothing is sacred.

we have returned
to this mountainside
to seek reprieve
from the judgments
that yet plague us…

meted out
measure for measure

i can still see
the appleseed sin
lingering in your eye
holy juices
wetting Isabella’s chin

we watch aghast
and feel forgiven.

i lean into your voice,
reading the moss
upon rain-slick stone,

a living text,
a testament to connection,

in those subtle words,
full of spacious intonation,

i see an author,
whose vast literature
unfolds through every breath we share.

luck was never kind.
we both wore our scars
with a secret shame,

but that first kiss
defied every prophecy.

the oracle told us
it was the law of averages
making things right.

we just called it
a good Tuesday.

i spied you tracing runes
upon the tidepool’s surface,
so certain of your wordless need,

a secret language
long tutored by the nymphs,

while i stood apart,
alone with the morning dewdrops
trembling on my skin,

the sea kept faith,
never teaching me how to speak.

watching puddles gather
on our balcony above the sea,

we sip our morning coffee
in silence,
contemplating the rain,

contemplating
the endless ache of tide
along the mossy stones,

their subtle history,
capturing all that we are,
so relentlessly returning.

we are lost and seeking
in a foreign place

your face erased
all the need it once held
seeping between my knees

until all that remains
is a porcelain slate
absent the geography
i once knew
too well

incapable of emotion
or retained desire
to relearn the language.

from behind your easel,
you once told me
that color
is a kind of anonymity,

a place for an artist’s soul
to hide.

now
when the morning light,
alive with dust motes,
falls blank across your canvas

i wonder
what it’s like to be famous,
rendered pastel
yet unseen.

wet leaves cling
tight against my windshield,
desperate to be seen.

you used to say
how autumn’s auburn
was Demeter’s mask,
burnt and fading.

the first snowflake
her bespoke tear,
an education
in mourning.

we camped
in a lea full of starlight,
sharing an apple
cut by the same dulled blade
that once knew its edge.

you said
the night felt domestic.

as if the dark might roof us,
as if the crickets were a song
on the radio,
a white noise to help us forget
the cold.

your frail face
fades inside the mirror,
slick entrail tears
spill past the glass,
a sorrow which will not still
 
we pale creatures cry,
echoes without end
for this love,
its reveries,
its endless afflictions.

high noon
watching vultures descend

negotiating the air,
all wings and patience,
each turn a quiet contract

here upon this scorched land
we once called us

the bones collect

death conducts its business
without need of words.

Listening to Radiohead’s “Codex.”
One of those songs that gut me. Tears. So hauntingly sad. The fucking power of a good lyric delivered well. WOW.

i miss the nights
we trembled like cobwebs
in a tree.

the crinkling crispness
of the autumn air,
the leaves gamboling
down the street,

each of us a jack-o-lantern
lit from within,
smiling wryly,
secrets safe and decaying,

greeting another
moonless Halloween.

the tide rolls in,
surf pounding the earth,
wounding my ears;
the dream of us
just a scream at sunrise.

shoes wet on the rocks.
for a moment
i prayed
the waves might take me
from this gray.

but they do not.
instead,
they drown light’s final rays,
judging them
more worthy.

we knew our love
believed it could outlast itself
awash
beneath the pull
of an urgent
argent moon

two makeshift shadows
dancing in aftermath’s wake
until we were subsumed…
half gesture
half reflection
never whole again.

i see your shade
flicker and flit
‘long the misty morning moor

gravity no longer can
hold you

untethered from
the rills of sweat
that creep along my back
that tie me to earth

freed from the tears
that baptize my face
like an epithet
for Keats.

deep in night’s slow ache,
your breathing keeps me.

a faint, heliacal blush
leaks through the blinds -
as if the dark were
learning to let go…

i reach for your hand,
unsure if i am morning

or what endures beyond it.

where the stream
joins the forest,
there at the ford
you await me -

cloaked in crow feathers,
mantle drawn
to hide a need,
reveal a fear
rooted deeper than words.

our love
a sacred tree
where terror meets desire -
its most urgent
and wanton seed.

in the garden that grows
between faith and abandon
the Book of Life
glows from within

where its light ends
and the shadows begin
unseen things seek
to read its words

leaving even
the slightest fingerprint
to prove they were clean

you said love is energy,
but i felt its decay

the half-life in your touch
still burning in my skin

an afterglow that lingers
an ache that fails to cool

a small sun learning
to die beautifully.

i cannot find you,
fumbling down
half-lit hallways
in this memory
of a dream’s
first emotion

a saucer of milk
half-spilt on the floor
a door closed forever
when the mice took over

echoes moan
the ache of the sea
your name, lost to me
in this emotion
of a dream’s
first memory

in the dark
you whisper the violence
of forgiveness

words that split atoms
caught between
desire’s soft ache

we collapse together
complicit in our decay

mere fragments spinning
left only to ask
why love never settles

it just divides
explodes
and begins again
