The Fall ; 5-7-5 Multiplied
2 Short Poems
"The Fall"
I want to be the One
Walking across that frozen lake
Aware
There are patches of ice that may be thin
Aware
It is okay if they break
For the view from the center
Engulfed in snowy trees
And quiet birds
Made the moment worth the fall
-M.C. Murphy, 2023
"5-7-5 Multiplied"
The world is better
We do not need much at all
When we remember
Time is infinite
There is no need to hurry
Nothing to want for .
-M.C. Murphy, 2021

Two Wrinkles In Time
It is pointless to run, my darling, because sixty seconds ago, I will kill you. My blade will have sliced reality open right in front of you. It will have first pierced it as it would a bed sheet left hanging to dry, flapping in the wind on a Sunday afternoon. But the metal will have drawn a line in the air that the ghostly tear will have followed. Then I, La Dyablès, machete firmly in hand, will have emerged from what your mind, at the time, could only interpret as the other side of here—whatever that means to you. I know. I have seen that look on the faces of countless unlucky… clients. You will not have been the first nor the last to try and reneg on a riches for soul contract only to present this visage to me when I come to collect.
