A church cries through the night, bodies adorned in black and red walk solemnly through the streets, wails and waning spirits make dim the light of the night. Hark, how the sorrow sings, how the voices weep, how the sights dim. Behold, just the strangest of things, figures of shadow reaching within. Bodies descending as spirits rise, for death has come this morrow. In lieu - an angel cries....

You’re Fine

“Okay so you’re telling me you get erratic in the dark?”


‘Yessir.’


“And you claim the shadows seem to move?”


‘They whisper to me, call to me Sir.’


“How does this make you feel? Threatened? Uncomfortable?”


‘Living on borrowed time, Sir.’


“Well, just sounds like you’re afraid of the dark. Try sleeping with the light on next time?”


‘Okay, Sir.’


It’s alright, you’re alright

Only living on a pr...

Jamiroquai

Sound


A myriad of iridescent audio

Glows of hums and hymns

Incorehent songs of the threads of time

Intertwine


From the Earth to our Venus, Venezuela to their Jesus, wings of the tiger, antlers of the reader. A Cheshire grin, one of a cat. Spines of pride spiking up, songs of sands and the ballad of technology owing an apology to the efforts of our kin. Bursting with wings and winds, feather and ...

Inspiration doesn’t come to your beck and call.


This marks 525 days since the habit stopped, the spark dwindled and was smothered. I haven’t written not as consistently, nor passionately.


People change, people come, people go.


Sometimes you have to consider what the problem is, wether you are the problem, if it’s always bound to happen, if you can change the future;


Sometimes you have to real...

God’s Work

… tastes of blood and bone, always delectable. The poor thing, fifteen I think. A syringe in the arm quelled his suffering, quenched my thirst. Immunosuppressants feel so cold when trickled up a vein. They kick in and so do I, the sunshine of night holds me glee, oh holds me as I hold him. I can almost squeeze his beating heart, feel it writhe and wriggle… heartbeat meat is my main career ambition...

DEMOS 1

Kathy

(DEMOS: unfinished prompts I will not be finishing)


Hey [beep], you awake?

Don’t worry, I’m up.

Even though I’m wading,

Neck deep in this rut.

I don’t know why

You keep up this lie

You know it’s false

And it ruins my life

You say you care,

Then set me aflame

With your name given

Just to cause me pain.


[beep]? Yes, Sir.

He’s present, he’s here

Kept alive by your memory

Made out of hate, I fear

It’s Alright Isn’t Enough

My mental health has been declining recently.

Months of pain, building up. Each smile drops in the bucket of a wisdom I build for myself. Each day which has gone by, I find myself telling me “it’s fine,” like a coping mechanism gaslighting me into believing I’m happy.


Here’s a well kept secret of mine, which should not be a secret no longer: I cannot cry.


I like to think I’m a pretty smart pers...

From The River

Kathy

From the river to the sea

Damn you all, you and me

Not a word in this time of need

Friends massacred, lost at sea


Sea of blood and bones

Filled by a Zion’s greed

Evacuate at noon

Daily, never be free


From the river to the sea

Damn us all in this time of need

For sitting in heaven with all liberty

Not batting an eye to what the government calls


Democracy...

Cynicism

Kathy

1 min read

Love against all odds fails with my proof

Call me a sinna but I speak for the truth

Demented speaker just hear to contrast you

Because love is imperfect thru’n’thru


Don’t need no desires for nother kin

Don’t need no child to lose freedoms win

Don’t need no partner for hate seeds in

Don’t need no love when time gives in...
