poetry
arrival - 07/17/2025
four eyes and two tails
an arrival met with joy
as we all adjust,
three toys
left on the ground,
to dissuade their company
is increasingly rare
an eager pain - 11/13/2024
a frying pan sits
as leaves fall and branches sway,
waiting for its food.
presence - 11/12/2024
symptoms now present,
the presence of old burden
rots from inside out
first touch - 05/24/2024
a cold, sharp touching
of flesh cuffed in flase blubber
ignites a self joy.
a choice - 05/24/2024
bottomless can not and do nots
reverberate in my presence,
but to be here is a joyous thing.
amazement strikes me down
and reminds me to seek comfort
in something not created by us.
still judgement lingers by my ear,
not one of my own design
and full of shame and failure.
i know no pursuit of my direction would
embrace the pair as my own creation.
so i struggle to choose a path each day,
and to live by expectation
and die in ignorace
or one to live freely
and die knowing.
skillet - 05/24/2024
a young hunters search
yields no item of life
but yields stranger bites.
