War

ashes drifting from the
blade that makes skin
crawl with fear as the
dread fills you
eternally, a sense of
forbidding is undeniably
ghosting through us.
haunting the battlefields, we are
incontempt with the way the people who triumph
juggle the crown, which is broken,
kaput, and how the ones who lost still
linger on the grass,
mourning as the day grows into 
night.
onward, the losers march,
pulling themselves of the grass, listening as the commen
quail sings a
righteous, beutiful, but undifiebly
sad song
torn hopes and
uplifting thoughts are scattered, the sun
venting on the
wet, dewy grass
X-rays were not need to see the 
yearning for blood that came from the winners, which were
zealous for more victory.

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
