Somewhere
Somewhere, a star is exploding.
Somewhere, a child is crying. Somewhere else, a child is laughing. Somewhere else a child is dying. Somewhere a child is not feeling anything at all.
Somewhere, there is a calf being born. As the moon rises over the field that it lies in, it sees the stars through more eyes than its mother. It will never see the sun.
A body lies in the back of a hearse. A different body lies in the back of an ambulance. Both have blood on their hands, and both leave mourners. One leaves a job behind, and one leaves more mourners than the other.
Someone is celebrating a birthday, and someone is visiting a grave, and someone is having a breakdown, and someone is dancing in the rain, and someone is mowing the lawn, and someone is walking the road less traveled by, and someone, somewhere, is writing a poem about complexity and layered lives and the entangled beauty and futility of choice.
Somewhere, as the sun comes up, a worm encounters something it has never tasted before. There is citrus in the soil, an orange rind dropped into the compost bin, and it writhes in ecstasy at the sharpness of it. Soon, the moment will be over. The rind will be absorbed into the soil, and the worms will be at peace.
And through the garden, in the house, the orange scones are cooling.

When they reach the point of begging, it is already too late. It should’ve never come to this point.

"PAINKILLERS"
She showed him her fangs;
Blood drenched they were;
She danced around the campfire;
Singing old witch tails;
She made him feel;
No more of the devil's pills;
No summer time chills;
For this love he could kill;
Heartbeat chilled;
The devil's deals;
Souls descending from hills;
No more pills.

Icarus
Icarus flew.
The stories, those told time after time,
Carved into the walls of our minds,
Say that he fell.
They recount the melting of his wings, the burning of his flesh,
The way he disappeared into the sea never to be seen again.
They say that he failed.
That he was so so close,
That he nearly touched the sun,
But that he never made it.
And that he never could.
He strived too hard, too fast, and he failed.
They teach us that we will fail.
We are Icarus.
We read between the lines and see that he flew.
Icarus flew!
We see his joy, hear his laughter, share in his triumph.
Sure, Icarus fell.
But first, he flew.

"PLANETARY ALIGNMENT"
Lucid dreams of altered realities;
Perceptions of man made catastrophes;
Knowledge of self;
Stranded at sea;
Shooting stars in galaxies;
Presence in the blowing leaves;
Escaping from the abyss of dreams;
Woken to the rivers streams.
Escaping to my destiny;
Angelic hands rescued me.
