Rapid precision As a decision is made in the dark A stark reminder not to take anything for granted To enjoy the moment And do your best to look at what matters

Fast-paced race A chase Don't fall Watch your feet As you move Try to sooth The agitation Brought on by Frustration
It washes over me like a scouring rag The beeps and rings nag On my ears and the tears on the other end Don't pretend to be anything but a constant cortisol eruption
Patience at a time when things are hard It's so weird to have such an odd start When sickness sets in it's a whole different game
Time slips by like a puddle on the floor I slip Then dip A subtle trip And years go by in that one movement What I meant
Wonderful things planned long ago From the beginning, a continuous ebb and flow I will exhaust you and honor your will Taking my cup and taking my fill

Within every moment Within every life There exists a smile A snapshot A portrait of happiness Of the human condition Of love

Fight Flight Downward Broken stares I am spiraling Each thought breaks like a missing step

I scoop my soup But nothing stays in I scoop and scoop But I just hear the bloop, bloop Of it leaking out my sides I don’t know where they are

I didn’t see it leave. It had made a home in the hollows of me that quiet monster, all teeth and impatience, teaching my heart to live in half-light, teaching my body how to brace for what it already knew would end.

dark hexed voodoo pierced with pins soft doll shaped like him the moon whispers “push deeper, love”
Fog clung to his clothes As he followed the twisted path * Fragments of stones scattered Broken and long forgotten * His breath ragged
