Silhouette

I looked 

otherwise       unaltered

used to stand

later I,       lay on the floor                        altered the silhouette 

and the cavernous reality

just a scar                       that leads down to the sand

stained red

by      years of salt and rain

where there were once windows and glass

I'm going to be 

  chewed up

  hammered out                                           over you

holes and lines

                            no daylight 

resurfacing

                                                                                        but 

the dim light

will allow it to be

                               beautiful

  • written in noise

    i don’t seem to write much anymore.

     

    Maybe it's because at one point the music got turned up real loud,

    didn’t like the thoughts in my head,

    the noise of the world. 

  • Strength

    One day, I want to be as strong as my shadow;

    waking up, running,

    falling asleep, dreaming.

     

    Made from muscled arms and soft angles. 

     

  • Truth Telling

    We manifest our fear in our hands, as physical things; sometimes it pricks at our skin and leaves marks, sometimes it results in stiff fingers, cracking from a stiffened clench.
