truth buried within a cookbook

  • Add a little bit of truth in the mix
  • Bury it in cups of sentences
  • A pinch of darkness
  • Stir in that liter of death, himself
  • Teaspoon of loneliness
  • Knead together the memories of the last twelve years
  • Drain out home because you can't be there anymore
  • Bake it in that oven of optimism
  • Sprinkle on the blackest sunshine, because the sun will never set
  • And finally, cut a piece of truth and enjoy what you will never know

    I know I should leave, but I always stay,

    Crossroads

    what do I do when the leaves are dead?

    what do I do with this road ahead?

    i'll walk the stretch, and clear the way,

    but my feet won't move today. 

     

    what do I do when these trees are surreal?
