it’s unclear
as to why
every mirror
insists
on throwing your face
in front of me

The Beat Goes On
we are now and ever will be apart
ceaseless
i must endure
the maddening rhythm
the poorly timed beats
of this atrophied heart

Up High to Deep Down
green grass smothers fallen leaves
the willow smiles as the daisies weep
summer sun is meant to be sweet
yet cities grow and growl
roots rise and limbs wither
broken bottle screams sink into honey thick dreams
and the beginning crashes into the middle

Shall We Dance
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

They rise Again Without Consent
swallowed ghosts
rise from his chest
and wander out into the spring
to haunt
to hunt
new eyes
new ears
that haven’t yet been spoiled by grief

In the Still of the Night
leafless birch trees stretch across the line
between the past
and the present.
Memories caught in between
slip through,
blossoming like moonflowers
in the cover of evening.
And there, below,
with time as my halo,
I bay
like a hound
mourning the day
