Scour Times

"The Englishman said that he, when captured, had made and kept the following vows to himself: To brush his teeth twice a day, to shave once a day, to wash his face and hands before every meal and after going to the latrine, to polish his shoes once a day, to exercise for at least half an hour each morning and then move his bowels, and to look into a mirror frequently, frankly evaluating his appearance, particularly with respect to posture."

Sun-Gazing

Remove all sight as I face    my          great fear
God strike me blind as         your       shadow disappears.

Rejection born of love or hate
Either way—an unbearable weight.

Aspirations

Every 10 years they scrape me clean
But oh! 
The miracles in between.

Springtime With Missadventure


I was a goner til you showed me 
How to huff the daffodils.
