Gush

The sky,
The clouds,
The grey collapsed,
Its shards now liquid glass
Exploding on the concrete ground,
A muffled pattle 
Sounding sweetly.

I am always baffled 
People often fear,
Believing I’ll discover that
I have already figured out.

You part the gates
Into your soaring ocean.
I am under all,
Surrounded
By your fickle tides,

An honor
Breathing deeply,
Drowned inside the gushing waves.

Your secrets
Wash me
Far away
From shore.

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
