The sum of life: we lie, we die

hear, see, feel, give up, give in again – too much world to take in – stop – step back, refrain –

tiny green eyes see the sun for the first time – a cruel sun wanting to burn them back into the ground – wrestling with wispy clouds to get through and do its intended harm – while the tiny green […]

i still live – we lie – we die – it’s “me”, it’s “my” and I still give – what have I, name – no claim, no gain – words – unheard – but I still feel – no, nothing’s […]

sofa: a place for a mother to lie and read, dead to the world and me – a place that speaks “pain” and “tired” in words and in shifty eyes you cannot catch – tested, tried – kitchen: a place […]

“you only hear your echo when I speak with you!” – well, so do you – and you don’t speak “with” me, no you speak to –

fickle faint buzz of your doings in my pocket – if you cared for my thoughts you’d be here though, wouldn’t you? distant humming life of which I am no part demands my attention – not my heart –

being yourself is easy – there’s nobody else you can really be – i could imitate you but that wouldn’t make me stop being me –

i am no people’s poet – i am a voice in distress screaming for language, definition – reason – and i digress – i speak for nobody besides myself, since nobody else will –

nothing hurts more than seeing your own faults filtered through another person – your own wants projected on another – your own thoughts completely skewed when uttered by another – where find mooring? there’s one place only for that – […]

thank you for the death threat proving your desperate need to be feared – why? i don’t know, but you must be despairing knowing that i know that if you had planned to kill me you wouldn’t have warned me […]

unheard un-word for things indescribable yet undeniable – dripping down on you through holes in your understanding, demanding attention – attention granted, understanding wanted still – words want creation to describe that which we cannot understand which is at hand […]

word feud online with strangers – not a game, life gamified –
