Salt Disney Whirl

Reckless repeats

of rocks on your window.

Retrace the cracks

of before you were known to me.

With water rising,

the leaks refuse to relent,

so we bail out.

The carpet sulks,

still soaked with salted moments and broken cassettes.

It’s better to swim forward

than continue treading water.

From the steel below,

the city speaks

roaring forth in the sounds of engines firing,

flames in the night.

Dead on Arrival

Rehearsed incantations drip from your tongue,

oozing out bland and colorless.

Cookie cutter catchphrases,

that inspire like a funeral.

Words that are dead on arrival.

[daytim-e]

And when the sun crashes violently upon the horizon, the shards splinter across the clouds.

[daytim-e]

The fear of imperfection will steal the sun from the sky and newborns from their cradles. Lost in the sight of what could be is what should be.

Thanks for sticking around, the show’s not over yet.

I wouldn’t lose sleep if Mitch McConnell choked on a chicken wing

Children burn baseball cards on the sidewalk,

their smoke like wildfires screaming out.

And teenagers watch executions online,

to assure themselves that there is something out there

more evil than the men that lock them in their classrooms

on silver platters for incel soldiers

to relieve them of their mortal coil.

The Bluebird Room

Chalked fingers scribble in haste,

frantically searching

for words within blackboards,

hacking away, to expose the colors beneath.

Doors closed, not to embrace darkness,

but to hide from it.

Galax-sea?

Stone cracked and fractured under feet

uneasy.

Tide pools of starlight and moondust

leak out to boundless seas,

and to the horizon,

slowly bleeding into the sky.

Alright, time to take down the pillow fort

At your bedside

tears hide in the corners of your eyes.

Hands moving tenderly

stacking bricks in your linen wall,

not to fortify but to hold

the tears inside.

Fall Tidings

Leaves rain down like ashes of the sun,

burning itself out,

smoldering into endless slumber.

Montreal

Dawn breaks a gray horizon

to pieces.

Shattering the rain

dripping from a dull sky.
