Wanderer

Anthony Cicchino

1 min read

A lone, aged man wanders across the wild land, searching. Always searching. Before he lost everything and after he lost everything and during losing everything - he searched. The inkling sat with him since he was a child, looking into his mother’s boudoir mirror.

Now, the sand drags against his near-numb feet, the wind whips his unkempt hair, and his tongue flicks over his dry, cracking lips. Th...

Lost Company

I am in a wild land

So, so far away

From where I was

On some search to find something important

Something greater than fame

Greater than money

Greater than having any treasure

Greater than any of that

That something being company

Company that makes you feel whole

That makes you feel satisfied

That makes you feel true joy

I don’t care how long it takes

How much I have to go through

Regardless ...

Bottle Neck

If only this world had shown me a little more mercy, I might have had some mercy to return.

I only the bottle, the acrid poison staining his lips, his tounge, his words. If only the bottle hadn’t been there. If only he hadnt run it dry. Like a vacant bed of a river, it scorned me. Mocked my want, my desperate need.

If only the bottle hadn’t been there, I might not have picked it up. Glass still ...

Five and a half years

Emira

My home shrinks in the car's rear-view mirror as I reach to turn down the radio. Silence—something that I hadn't experienced in five and a half years. I felt the string cut between us in that moment. I know this is the end. I turn off our gravel road onto the pavement, and it feels like justice. The light flowing through the trees into my windshield feels like they are whispering to me to keep goi...

Oh, if only this world had shown me a _little_ more mercy. Yea, I’m happy. But I still have problems. Mentally, physically, medically, emotionally. I’m okay, but I’m not okay. I’ve lost loved ones. I lost myself. I’ll lose more and more as my life goes on. And I’ll never be able to control that. That’s how life goes. People have it worse than me. There’s people broker than me, a lot less healthy t...

Alone…

Sometimes I feel

**Alone**

Like a lost fish

In a big sea

Looking for my other fellow fishies

Who seem to have left me

Til I find my own path

And find new people

Love You Like A Maniac <3

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

Look through and through

Look into me

A black star intangible

The vortex in my mind

Sweetly unavoidable

Gravity between him and I

Let the blackness swallow you up

Know what I really am

And if you look deep enough

Will you want to look again

Escape into me

Fall into the expanse

Set my soul free

I feel like you can

My supermassive sadness

My joyful ...

Chasing A Fleeting Feeling

Ellipsis

6 min read

The dirt sank slightly under his soft footsteps. The sun shined overhead, casting a warm glow on the grassy field in front of him. He went on walks frequently, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for a few hours. On these days, with nice weather, he’d walk until he forgot where he was going. Sometimes it felt like days, weeks or even years, but time no longer bothered him.

He dwelled on his ti...
