The Gift
I learned that butchering purity is ungodly,
yet on the silver platter, I see a snow lamb as fired slabs. -
Change and I
When I am furious with Change, I berate it;
“I am tired of your unrelenting beatings,
tired of your latency, then rapidity,
tired of your inconsistency, no warnings.” -

The kitchen will be used.
The pantry will be emptied
and then promptly refilled.

Perfect, Perfection, Perfectly
Perfect
I know I'll never reach

The college I'll go to
My grad school

My Girlfriend
I feel her bracelet cold on my wrist
I taste the coffee bitter in my mouth
I smell her perfume drifting in the air
I see her standing over me, strong and beautiful
