Stone

You can squeeze
Until your veins
Arise upon your brow.
The water never flows
Or drips
A bit.

She lands her hand
On top your shoulder.
She will always lay her hand.

She looks into your eyes.
The grating on the furnace
Slides aside,
The heat is unbelievable,
Unbearable,
Invigorating.

She lands her hand
On top your knee,
On top your thigh.
It always finds its way
So close.

The spark will light the fuse.
It never reaches dynamite.
A stone is ever stone,
No matter 
If you swear
You see it sweat.

You can squeeze
Until your veins
Explode from out your brow.

Alone at the Museum

I explored exhibits Tracing history And present geological conditions. I realized My mind was roaming, Conjuring reactions, Thoughts,  Remarks from you All while the warmest wash Cascaded down my bones And something stirred Disturbing, comforting So deep inside my stomach. Friends are more important Than another lover. So I tell myself, But when you're close I nearly touch your skin Instinctively. I healed so greatly From my former romantic disaster. When will I Allow myself to fall again, Or has your gravity Already taken me? - 12/8/25

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

Decease

I’m constantly confounded By our unavoidable  Decease, The vibrant eternal uniqueness, Hot and impossible, To nothing, To one of several  Cold boring urns, A gathered firewood ablaze To uniform and lifeless ashes Just like all the other scattered heaps In every other fucking fireplace. I’m cast to wind like cloud of seed, Bereaved, And disappointed by death’s  Refusal to be more creative. This is the best  The universe or god Could do Or chose to do. I miss you I miss so many.  They never come again.  - 4/5/25
