"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."

Shards of Light


In a morning car, driving through
shutters of trees and the light
moved with the song in my head
as if in hide and seek
peeking and poking in rhythm
and i can't help but face the sun
like a pillow of light
embracing my lungs
and each breath felt like
fluttering wings
against my rib cages
letting smile out like
a flock of birds on its
first taste of sky
