"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."

Carving


There are nights when lights
melt, unwilling to be carved
that we just let it turn to
puddles.
Somewhere in the dark
we know dark branches
chisel wind in hopeless
portions,
but we enjoy the songs
they make in their insignificant deaths
