There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road

There are some dragons who were built to have and hold

And some machines are dropped from great heights, lovingly

And some great bellies ache with many bumblebees

And they sting so terribly!

There is pain, and then there is this. God, what is this?

Certainly not a stubbed toe. No, not that.

Apparently the phrase, “I love you eternally; let’s get married” means, “in 6 months I’ll be with someone else; deal with it”.

The perfect thing to say is nothing at all. The most poignant expression is silence.

But now’s not the time for that, and certainly not here. I’m not here to be perfect; I’m here to rage quietly and fail generously.

The moon’s whole purpose in the sky is purely performative, and the sun seems to enjoy it. No one ever talks about this dynamic.

Don’t give them names lest you start coochie-coochie-coo-ing uncontrollably.

Sometime’s you feel blue and don’t even realise this is what you mean. Still sad, but hey, at least you’re sweating!

Seeing a lighthouse on the coast is much like seeing a cow in the country. “Lighthouse”, you whisper, as does everyone else in their own time. You wonder for a moment. And then you take another lick of your ice cream.

Every move we plan defies the inevitable and proves us believers.

Now, thankfully for you

(and so too for me)

For my closing act

I shall cease to be.

Life, still.

Insecurity is cliché. Be unique. Sell your soul (at a premium) for the ability not to give a flying fuck, and then demand a refund because it’s a conditional benefit only. It’s all circles, baby!

“The halls were lined with the disembodied and the dustly wings, which fell from flesh, gasplessly.”

There once was a harmony

And it was your voice

Your laugh

Your love

But this is just a dramedy

And it’s just noise

A dulcet dove

I would just like to say

I don’t need you either

I don’t need my heart back

I just need you to let me go

Because I’m already gone

I suppose I need you after all.

Not even death travels as quick as light, but no light is eternal.

You moved on so quickly, the blaze in your wake ushered an immediate summer.

Friends who love you should warm you like the sun, not freeze you in their contempt, and in their hate.

Still, life?

.

.

Words erupt by blood, by beat, by mouth, by pen, by silent consumption, by roar, by design.

.

.

.

It wilts not by virtue of negligence, but the conditions become cumbersome, and it’s still your fault.

Spare a kindness to yourself when you can.
