UNLACED
—when reason unlaced her corset for the wild

feral hymns begin
when logic bows to her light—
#moon drunk, I confess
to the shadows of myself
and wake rewritten in moss.

Am I Breathing?

inside the stillness
before the word takes a-shape
a breath folds inward
carrying the weight of us
without ever speaking it.

Trouble comes in waves,
"It never #rains, but it pours"
Misfortune abound,
The string of bad luck unfolds,
Life throws lemons, a whole cart.
