Shoulders bump and scratch against mine as I walk to the stand, I hear in the distance faint yelling coming from a child, a smile heard from miles away.

The warmth of the sun places itself on my temple, slowly making it damp. I sweep it off with the back of my hand and continue my journey through the fire that burns in between bodies and gods.

After a short while of walking on uneven tumbled rock...

Weave,through time, your inability,

forget everything you’ve ever learned and go back to what you once were;

Be greedy with sugar, be greedy with love,

let them destroy your health.

Give up your skills because none of them are worth going through anything.

Read what you don’t enjoy

Love what doesn’t serve you

Drive yourself to a point so excruciatingly empty

soundless

that you won’t even stri...

Being alone has become taboo.

No longer does anyone admit that they are still single or divorced past the age of 45,

No longer can you stay alone during the breaks at school because that means you were unworthy of any love to begin with.

And when your heart shatters and you’re left all alone,

you realize you’re in truth still accompanied by the fear of loneliness

and you stand still in the space ...

They speak of the man who went through hell and back to find his lover.

They speak of his doubt and their need for one another.

But how did Eurydice feel as she was escalating the grandeurs of Hades’ beloved lair,

holding her only hopes in a hand colder than the surrounding air.

Was she nervous or scared for her soul

was she terrified that his, so intertwined with hers, would also perish?

Was sh...

I can’t help it.

The way you talk to me feels like

The sweet fragrance after rain.

The magnificence of a castle.

A hypnotizing waltz.

You pull me in and throw me out,

A bittersweet way to love.

The bitter taste is the coffee of fear

Seeping into my every vein

Keeping me up at night.

Then the sweetness comes in

Making me doubt my senses

Float in a heaven of agony.

We do not share our values,

Ou...

Maybe it was the summer filled air,

maybe it was the new color of her hair.

She had changed so much

i could not recognize her touch.

In the crowded airport of my life,

i bid farewell to a stranger.

with a smile that felt like a knife

and a tear for the remainder

of her kindness.

of our history

of my blindness

of her toxicity.

So the tear would barely shine

and the soul hardly affected

for some...

The sound of the shovel hitting the earth again and again was nearly deafening.

Piercing and butchering the dirt, Michael was growing tired,

no sign of dead bodies.

“oh my god, oh my god! I can’t believe we’re actually looking for these guys, are we fucking insane?! They’re dead! For fuck’s sake..dead and gone and we won’t find them! ” His voice was hoarse and raspy, like the song of an old bell...

So i sat on the plastic chair, worn out and cracked from years of usage.

Blowing softly on the cup of noodles before me, i listened to my cousin’s tales.

She would act the sorrowful scenes, while we watched in mortified peace.

Sitting in a circle,

the yellow lights hung on the trees above,

the winds chanting along with her.

Like an old song that brings comfort,

the grass and the stories,

the foo...

Blue cardigan.

The man’s pink hair was flowing on his shoulders when I invited him in.

A novelty he was, when he came into my apartment. He later grew dull as i slowly learned his name.

Walking into his messy room, i saw mountains of small black notebooks, all looking exactly alike, along with canned beers scrambled on the floor, leaving his desk to be the only perfectly clean part of his room.

I...

I simply didn’t understand.

No explanation and no heart.

He poured out his love like a shot of vodka,

then left it sticking on the cold floor.

A silence filled the party as his lips touched hers,

she touched his clothes like they were made of satin,

his chest like his heart was made of gold.

I tried and tried asking why,

he didn’t understand,

i didn’t either,

the silence did.

A slow breeze tra...
