It takes a seashell
lifted to a landlocked ear
for faith to whisper

We are not our masks
Nor the monsters underneath
We are what's between

Everything starts
To matter less and less and...
Less and less and less.

The cage I'm in breathes.
My Stockholm syndrome pulsates.
I succumb, shrugging.

despite the distance
I like to think we lock eyes —

4/6/24
identical long swords
the option to stay
or go

The stairs wet from rain
My dad sitting on the couch
A lump on his head
. . .
"Where are you headed?"
Here! I came here to see you
Can't you remember?
. . .
"Where are we going?"
You need a doctor right now
We're on the way there
. . .
He didn't even
Know who the president was
Said "head of lettuce"
. . .
Back over the hill
I'm driving slow but I know
I'll still get there first
. . .
His brain is bleeding
Emergency surgery to
Try and save his life
. . .
Sedation removed
But he hasn't woken up
Hard bebop playing
. . .
A second brain bleed
A decision involving
Quality of life
. . .
Family dinner
The food is good except that
Dad's in a coma
. . .
Life support removed
I can't watch him breathe like this
Oxygen starvation
. . .
My face wet from tears
Me standing next to my bed
A lump in my throat

Black birds scatter asudden

Will you kiss me as
the ashes settle on us?
We flirt in endings.

deep shadow
I figure whalers are haunted
by dead gods
