Sun Smuggler
A low bellow coursed through my body, shaking me, as the vibration of the ship’s foghorn roared two decks above. Wakeup call. I stretched my arms and legs as I tossed around in my canvas hammock, savouring the mere seconds of peace. I rose my sullied hands up to my face, rubbing sunken, weary eyes. With my creased knuckles I began scraping the film that glued my eyelids shut. This film appears on everything, unbiased. It gathers on your eyelids, hands, and feet. No one is immune, not my fellow mates nor the cook, not even the Captain, and most certainly not I. This film is the Salt. The Salt that lingers in the damp air of this wretched place, the Salt that commands the tides of the Shadowy Sea and the Salt that fills any old Skulker’s veins, just like mine.

Depression Poems
No Date Awaiting day and night, a tainted luck in its shell. House of brass. A prayer to spark. This solitude, that purposeful right, a dream of hell in heavenly brimstone. It lives to serve the moment in might. It is the fire born of blackened light. It craves the wind by misty ears as it rushes pass those years and years with seconds in its way. Afar beyond metallic dreams, the end stood near beginning to loom its cruelty and fear. It hungers the mark through a spiral moon, to split the sky of clouded minds to cease the pain that never came. It is the emissary of absolute fate, subjected to patience and a history of hate. The time betrayed its promised lie, but it awaits the day and awaits the night like hardened steel, tempered and sane. Was it a crime to be this tame? This forgotten spear, the fated lame, the unnamed death put to shame?

Peter's Crow
It is here, on the streets of Petersburg where the shadowy thoughts emerged. The rain beckoning pain and I expressing sorrow with each step. A filth that pelted my soul with every drop of painted muck. It felt like spring, or maybe more like fall? The nature of this place left me in wonder, a wandering amusement.
