The city don’t cheat with flair. It bleeds you in small cons. A late train, a rigged meter, a promise whispered in lipstick. I followed her through smoke and sirens, thinking I was the hunter. Joke’s on me. I was just another mark, waiting to be cleaned out.

Boyhood dreams turn to dust
Seized by time, born of rust
Contemplating a different plan
Praying to be a different man
Yet cursed to follow on your game
A bloodline curse in eternal shame.
Drenched darkness corrupting sin
Childhood dies, adult hood begins.

Rot - Dave Ashley Late one evening, just before bedtime, the phone rang and rang, and nobody answered it. Nobody had answered it the previous day, or the day before it. Its petulant call echoed around the hallway as Ro...

a three-way mirror
fight the urge
keep smiling

a mimic

She typed 'dialogue' into the search box.

"What do you wish to discuss?"

What does it mean to be happy? I don't understand that word.

"Try a synonym: delighted, buoyant."

Ah! As in setting out on an adventure with a buoyant heart.

"Yes."

Bone in the soil, moonlight-bound,
Echoed low in cursed surround.
Roots entwined it like a vow,
Still as death, yet living now.
It did not break, it did not speak—
But every night, the air grew weak,
As if the earth leaned in to hear.

Time saw it all—the
desire, the discomfort, some
serious sad scenes…
clever, the lovers embraced
every beat of their love song

Do you remember all the times we spent together at the #water?
I do. Often.
Wondering where you are, what you're doing, if you're thinking of me as I'm thinking of you.
Wondering where I am, what I'm doing.
I wish I could go back to those quiet #moments, when it was just the two of us.

Trust me
I’m trying to trust me
Study study
Lovingly
Focusing
Controlling these
Unsavory qualities
Why am I appalled
Why can’t I value all
Of me
Study study
Study study

in the past
in my childhood years
i had scampered
past the park benches
where the old men sat
hunched over walking sticks
now i am old
hard of hearing
i sit on park benches
straining to hear the
scampering and laughter
of the new generation . . .
