Simplicity Is

poetry

simplicity tastes like
vanilla cake and
white frosting
and sprinkles.

And green icing
with words written:
The Cake.

Simplicity is.
Delicious.

what a way to go down

poetry

write it down all you’d like
lose your self and your
face in the crowd
or sew your mouth shut;
the buildings yet to
be knocked down
blocking out the sun,
the gray clouds holding you
down like giant nets
foreboding and advancing.

thoughts on the coming moments

poetry

sleep like a slow moving semi
carrying solid lead bars
still hits you pretty hard
should you choose to tarry

Pledge

poetry

I cannot yet forget my fate
the one I’ve forced upon myself:
to stay alive despite my health
to fight from being over-rate

But if I am to die too soon
promises broken, boons unkept
I’ll do my best to make amends
from the other side of the Moon
