I still check if you see my stories, now you never do. I don’t know for sure what this means, or what it means that I confess it with words. Truthfully, I don’t miss you, and I cannot admit we were at all convincing. But part of me wishes for validation, that someone like yourself,…

This is my tenement, this small place where I can move my elbows, let my hands search for what I suspect is unsearchable, my eyes to scatter its sight among the terrain. My vision is drifting, changing with the shadows from the fading sun, transforming itself in sequence with the passing of time. I forget…

It’s always… a good time… spent with you… I heard the delays from my mouth as if spoken somewhere without me, but still me, completely and fully me. In the sunlight, your face melted from some forced sternness into your natural kindness, that is so genuine and rare. Then my words melted out of my…

Lesser known works will find love, when at the end of the day we learn there will be no tomorrows. Now we stand at the last moments, when the world has finally stopped its revolutions, we finally see what we are. The fallen mementos of something grander, something so big we gripped onto our centrality,…

Sugar high, skittles on the train, tipsy without a drink, the world whirls around me, I melt into the hues and ignite with luminescent flare.

On which planet(s) does “it” reside? You may wonder what “it” may be, and so do I. That everlasting tiny nearly nonexistent word, keeping our cerebrums on the edges of skulls, our fingers clenched, our tongues unhinged. How can I detail into thoughts and conceptions what “it” is. Cold sweat, 3 AM, witching hour hauntings…

Double sun in perfect balance, a forest grown in both ways, reaching from a reflective line of shimmering unreality. I want to live in that world, where life exists in twos, every constructive atom multiplied and confounded into a limitless eternity. A world of day after morning bliss extending into the never reaching afternoons, more…

my interests are not in “self-discovery”. my self was discovered on a summer night 30 years ago, late in the 28th day of June, emerging into the hot earth darkened skies full of insects, lit by the soft hum that always comes in the mid-year. my interests are in “peace-discovery”. the surrounding of my skin…

Suffer in pastel green with a park ticket, remain unphased unhazed. I smiled from that text reminding me to not miss a flight, though mistakenly 12 hours too soon. Then I saw the ships in the sky, barges floating. The horizon’s and the ocean’s surface bled into each other, I’d like to believe this is…
