Eos Unexpected


Blinding vulgar light

Betrayed the silver

Full across his face.

Another day has bent and cracked,

Surprising only him.


Pathetic

Once you doubt the daily,


Still the freight train 

Rumbles like a hungry stomach,

Whining without fail

Every evening,

Yet he didn't hear it 

Leave the station

Last night.


Daybreak

Mercilessly pouring gold

Into his squinted muddy eyes.

He noticed empty closet hangers

As he threw his coat onto his shoulders,

Unfolded his sunglasses of salvation,

And made it to the driveway,

Praying it would start

Or finally die completely.

Awaiting Snow

The weighted metal cover Holding high the heavens Settles over And on us Uneasy. We are waiting on a birth. We're unaware and unsure If the tranquillized sky Is actually expecting. Cars in awe will smash And slide off highways. Venerating pipes will swell And bulge And burst. The guilty trees will be bowed down Confessing reverent And snap. And yet, we open arms and stare  Beside ourselves And float up prayers for softest flakes And cloud carpets to drop upon  The filthy earth. - 1/10/25

Full and Naked

I stagger through your room, A man too drunk On what I thought was water. You are wrapping darkness Like a robe About your body, Never speaking truth And never telling lies Exactly. The blackly cotton sky  Removes its cloudy clothing For a moment, The full and naked moon Now truth enough For everything. - 3/25/25

Elise in Beige

She wishes She could tan Beneath fluorescent Lights. The constant static Far too soft, The sterile air, The cool cocoon Bathed in beige And calm yet morbid grey, But neutral bland chromatics Never fostered Sprouting wings. That process sounds too gory, Filled with hurt. She hates this Fraudulently promising cage But isn't quite convinced A step away Would lead to green And indigo. She's finished with All pain Forever. She remains, Longing for a window. - 5/16/25
