Poetry
This is the general category of fuckery that goes on and on and doesn’t seem interested in stopping.

Thinking about the people whose gaze you meet once
Walking by
In a car
On a bus
Maybe you smiled for them
Maybe you wanted to so badly
But couldn’t react fast enough
Maybe they were gone before your lips had the chance to hear
The thought
How many hundreds slip past?
Still they slip past
No thoughts of how the chances of your four eyes finding each other simultaneously is a one in billions chance
No matter two completely separate lives coming completely into sync for that one point five seconds
No lost sleep on how you both continue your day from that second on without another thought of eachother
Yet,
Perhaps complete strangers are your most common source of interaction
Maybe that one single view of one single person is more than you’ll see of anyone you know today
Perhaps that meeting of mutual sights confirms both disconnected existences
Just for a second
And then they’re gone
We don’t miss them
Yet
We try to catch the eye of strangers sometimes
What purpose does one point five seconds serve?
How much happier would you be if every meeting with a human turned into a meeting with a dog?

Feeling so tired and out of control
Feeling so underwhelmed
Sitting under the evening sun
Wishing for a way around
So simple subtle silent pending moments
Not here or there
Not anywhere
Once it’s over what do we do?
-
Inhale whisper your taste of regret
Trying to hide me sister?
Trying to hide me away?
Don’t get the whole without the half and half
Moon’s shadow
Lost Oracle
Nine fucking lives
Lives
Lihves not lighves
Oh text
Twixt
When in one rose there are two entwined
I said two
I said two
Oh dear sister
Fear you the claws or the teeth?
Fear not dwelling dark demanding
After it all
We still tried

Hello
How are you today?
Today I am feeling within a world slightly off balance
Slightly right
Not sure it it’s so right
Hello
How are you today
Why does it feel like a demanding
Rather than an asking?
Effort aside
I just wanted to love him
How I wanted to listen to him
That’s my day
It’s far away
On shores
How are you today?
I’m afraid my pleasant interactions have implied you have a power over me
I will not be what you tell me to be
-
I wish I could hold you
I wish I could show you how much
How I wish I could be greater than you are millions of times
Hold you in my arms and whisper it’s okay
Encapsulated in the way you do me
If only I could reach you and touch your surface and whisper how I love you
I love you
Of anything in your rays
I feel you humming far away
Rest my head on you
Fall asleep wrapped around you
I would keep you
Safe in space against any to come
Eternity wrapped around you
To keep you safe
My star

I am the beginning of the fires
The angry mountains parched, criers
They scream
Outward billowing the darkness unfolds into the surrounding starving for water
Crash
A coolish rain pouring down
The mountain’s mountainous anger
Flash
The ones that never made it parched left far away
In his whirling winding the clouds unfold
They unfold and gather
I am the precursor
To the fire
As the new and demanded air comes crashing down to the earth it has to meet that angry heat
Cold wind on the face the heat of the oppressive pressing air force back into the above
Billowing off the mountains every which way
The ocean stopped feeding them
The earths’ come to play
