Poetry
free verse
depression
takes mind over body
and the former follows suit
cold world, warm bed
pressing to stay tightly wrapped
sheet corners hooking collarbones
prison of restless, kicking sleep
denial rampant in clutches
passing headaches are silent trains
as are the days
it is a terrible mechanism
rhyming
love
bane of thought and fog of mind
leaving nothing else behind
floating abjectivity in song
the leading on to trail along
to hurt despite the holding dear
and hate despite feelings clear
let every day be like a week
a dying love is still miles deep
haiku
home
home, later last night
i thought about you, stupid
you’ve always been home
us
we don’t have to talk
or even acknowledge it
necessarily
hospital
wife in hospital
man run in and funny scream
i cut his head off
