Still Foreign

No matter
how much love
is present
My feelings
truant reign

The ghost
inside me
will not leave
Inducing
love’s disdain

All joy
a vagrant
along the tracks
where distance
holds me sway

And love
still foreign
wherein I roam
and where
— I’m doomed to stay

(The New Room: February, 2026)



Blowback

Judge
lest thee
be judged

Harm
lest thee
be harmed

Steal
lest thee
be robbed

Kill
lest thee
— be dead

(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)


Somewhere In The Queue

We’re all going
to die
Only the order
— stays undetermined

(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)

Above & Beyond

Fire cannot
burn
Nor water
drown
The truth
at its essence
Immortal
— resounds

(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)


Owning The Moment

Pain on the front side
healing out back
Earning each scar
that my memory attacks

Writing uncensored
no words in arrears
Owning the moment
— unburdened by fear
