surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
What the Tomatoes Knew
"Tomatoes know where children go when children disappear. They blush because they’ve seen it all and dare not tell you, dear. They’ve seen the houses turn around. They’ve seen the gardens crawl. They’ve seen the great eye open wide behind the kitchen wall. So cut them small and boil them well and never mind their screams. Tomatoes keep their secrets best when softened into dreams."

Minimum Output
The blood d r i p s F I l l s their coffers. Another of society's horrors. Treacherous their trajectory o b l i q u e They lock us in {positions of no grandeur} boxes to line their pockets. Oppose and face Consequences Less than. Greater than. Minimum output. Or just do whatever Everyone else does.

Popham in October
The beach is quieter now. Summer has slipped away like a gull lifting off without a sound. Only the steady pulse of the Atlantic remains, a heartbeat older than anything I know. I sit where the tide curls in, letting the cold sand hold me like an old friend.
