Foresight

Debra Mae was an astonishingly good programmer. Her code always worked correctly the first time, and she never missed a deadline. Her workspace was immaculate, but curiously devoid of personal effects. No framed pictures, no toys, just her small collection of pens lined up according to color and an inbox for the occasional old-school paper input. Her computer was equally immaculate. Nothing extra on her desktop, no stray icons. If one peeked at her browser history there’d be nothing there but work-related google searches and company stuff. She dressed neatly but very plainly. I suspected she had four dresses in her wardrobe an

Anxieties of a Conflicted Introvert

I. [i don’t want to have to tell you i’m sorry again but lately it’s been tough. And i’m stricken with this feeling that maybe i’m not good enough.] run. you see, somewhere out there birds are looking for nests and birds are finding them in the ribcages of souls but i am tired of picking straw from my heart and strings and hair that wrap around my fingers i’m— [well sometimes i’m a little lonely but i never wanted to tell you that] escape. --tired of seeing the ball i wind from those leftover nests grow and grow— [and i want more, want more,

Beginning We End

Him, in the very beginning: He is eighteen when he gets his death sentence. Unlike most death sentences, this one isn't going to send him to the guillotine or maybe the noose. Instead, it's handed to him by a doctor with very clean hands in a stark white room probably very similar to the one he'll end up dying in. And it's not the type of death sentence carried out by an impassive executor. He's essentially going to kill himself. He is dying from the inside out. He mumbles something at the doctor, and suddenly he is on the street, a white piece of paper fisted and crumped in his hands. He's grateful it has the prescription written on it in

Idle Hands Without Any Plans

Idle Hands Without Any Plans What a way to waste a day, Watching your own flesh decay, How divine, as you may find, Getting lost in your own mind, If I may share, you're quite the pair, That is, you and your despair, This routine, even unseen, Is constant and unfailing, (but) Not to fear, just rest my dear, Tomorrow is another year.

to the boy who doesn't plan on leaving

how much of me can you swallow, love before you finally purge? I am a cartographer of bad experiences; I can locate precisely where I see our divergence extraordinaire and I can tell you before I have even met you that the skin on my hands is too dry for the softness you plan on caressing me with. let me tell you how this ends; I will show you all the people I have destroyed - flooded to the best of my ignorance, driven wild with jealousy, had whipped with lust and left smoking pot after four promises stating otherwise. let me tell you how this ends; after showing you the blessed catastrophe it is to be human, you will destroy me. you may

free bird

it’s a need to feel the suns golden fingers teasing figure eights along my back, & the wind on my cheeks. i must have been a bird in some past life, a swallow or a hummingbird. because, i swear on some nights i can feel the growing pains of an atlas ready to burst through my skin like wings. i just want to be free.

A Letter For A Deceased Mother

Dear Mother, A glance at my calendar, much to my distress, right now these feelings, I must confess. It's Mother's Day once again and my heart is filled with sorrow, that may never mend. I'm trying to make it through today without tears this year, just like all the rest of the years. I sit here to dwell and morn with what once was had, has now been forever torn. This day never ceases to remind me how I'm without and fills me with an overflowing doubt. Makes me regret how little the days with you were spent and I ponder where all those precious memories could have went. If only I knew back then what I know now and my life, the knowledge,

Family Tree

If we're tied together by blood then I'm anemic Coughing up the words I swallowed for years like I'm bulimic The bird still bears the stumps where you severed off its wings I bet you'd chop down a tree just to count all its rings If you keep breaking branches you don't think belong There will be nothing left for you to cling on Have fun falling to your death

epitaph

the girl i did not run over looks at me with eyes that say that i am part of the problem, when i could have been her solution, looks at me like she’s blaming me for swerving away, like she’s measured every one of her steps from her door to the curb, and i am the one thing she failed to account for. i almost double back to try and tell her all the same things that i have been told but i do not. her feet are too heavy, by now. her stomach too hollow. she does not need more empty words to swallow, she does not need stop signs or yield signs or ‘for the love of god think of everyone you are leaving behind’ signs. i do no

Boiling Seas

I hope your sails burn When next you set sail And the wind fans the flames So overboard you'll go I hope the sea swallows you And drags you down slowly So you can feel every second Away from the surface I hope when you hit bottom You'll survive long enough To remember what you said When you were intoxicated I hope that once you've drunk Your fill of salt water You die full of regrets For the emptiness in your head I hope the fish feast On your tongue and teeth And the sharks leave you To be broken by the reef I hope you shatter Into a million pieces And your soul bubbles Into oblivion I hope you sail straight to Hell

My little visitor

In a dream you come to me and I hold you like a baby. You purring loudly in my ear, I sense that you forgave me. I caress your head in my hand and press a kiss upon your cheek. I miss you my little one, is all that I can speak. Thank you for this flying visit, it seems you have no time. Your spirit brings me so much comfort, I know that you´ll be fine. So off you go and leave me, one time more, up over the bridge into the clouds, through the cat-flap in God`s door. 12.06.2016
