To be Blunt

The worst day was the one where I glanced back and you didn't.
For leaving is silent, but being left is ear-splitting.
You did nothing to destroy me.
And in turn, I went deaf.

  • solitary promenade

    Riches of generosity
    Grew stale in the wraith of spite
    Iron bars now chafe my scalp
    Unchain me from dependency

    Warm and humid gold evenings
    Spun to char in the breeze
    Your bitterness clenching my fist
  • to be insoluble

    I went to the lake alone
    Hypnotizing winds of turns
    Led me here
    Bony feet screaming now
    In premature raw waters

    I wanted space but maybe less of it
    Maybe less of it from myself
    The world here is all double-sided
  • Sunlight and Raindrops

    Golden sweet cookies
    And soft white bread
    We smiled and skipped when the sun came
    Drenched ourselves laughing in the rain
    With rainboots as our small rubber boats
    Tromping through pools and mysterious moats
