goodnight

poetry

atop this hill
i see the city extinguish
slowly
light
by
light
it withdraws like a tide
waiting to explode
and overtake every last one of us
trading each breath
for death.

your tears

poetry

aint poetic in the least
they stream like uneducated
ebonics flow from a non-minority’s
mouth

it aint pretty
it aint even funny
and they damn aint poetic

Failure In Judgement

poetry

every piece
of packing tape
comes peeling off
the bits
it’s meant
to hold together

Packing tape
as substitute
for roofing gun
and superglue?
Never.

Everyone
gets just one
first mistake
however.
