Orpheus’ confession I. Did I not trust you? Or was it your doubt That I will screw this up anyway? That — Damned man of all men — why did I look back? Was it not enough that I sang, I ached For your touch so bad, so madly that It was imperative that I turned around? In my heart and loins, every […]
We adored that heavenly human voice, whose wail staged the mighty gig in the sky. Dishonesty creeps up at mid-night, veiled Only by peals of an ancient struggle. Love and sorrow, conceitedly married, Carved and printed its immortality On a label. Lady who cried to us: Are you now homeless? Feeding your life on ordinariness instead of divine Chimes? The […]
Last night you called from Annika’s house while I was watching TV. Over the phone, I could feel dusty cool wooden floor boards on my feet, distinct the smell of fresh garden and secrets in the corner. Could smell Bella’s breath, feel her paws treading on my feet, and her tail stinging my calves. Over the lines, […]
I lie upon a pile of cotton springs to cushion my staggering one-liners. Turning on my side, I use my feet to pull up my corners, use my hands to wrap the shoulders.
