"We hide behind sheets of words and sometimes find comfort on wearing them proudly. I have unbowed my bloody head with the things I have killed and revered what I have immortalized. I will continue to shield, maim, murder, pine, ponder and slave over the very words that force itself out of my body but leave its hand clutched on my still beating heart."

Celcius


A sad mournful song echoes up the dusty stairs
Singing of inevitable changes and prettified corpses
A silent conversation between father and son
Words are never enough, laughter perhaps
Casual small talk, the freezer set at 5 now at 2
And there is a thirst waiting to be filled
But for now, let the notes cry
Secrets, in sad 4/4 beats
Pain not melting but frozen,
Waiting to drip drip drip
In clear visible falls
But number 2 isn’t enough.
There so much clarity in clear water
Than ice
But for now, let the notes cry.
