Nocturnal Nobody
Skeletal Scatter
Why sleep eludes me
Has ceased to matter.
Bleed without pain
Cry without Tears
Hurricane days
Build Tornado years
Brilliantly sinking
Swan-Diving Diamond
Incendiary glint
Crimefully fading
There
you
go.
Slim to None
Dim to Done
Hidden Jewels
Impress No one.
Eldest river tumbled rock
Smooth stroke stoned
Skipped back home
Flagrant rippling flawless concentrics
Slapped Specular Surface
er’wise to all men’s tricks
Mother’s minerals turbidly tossed
Return to your stream
Never be lost
Body of water
won’t die as mine will
mortality mirrored
Your current still.
Silken Solid Stone
Cool brackish scent
Back into your bed you’re thrown
to rest in sediment
Swirling fall
Birds they call
you home
Joyous Descent.
Pardon the intrusion
Human disillusion
Truly,
No Harm Meant.

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.
