[dissipate]


drop five liters of blood in the ocean

 dump out my heart to you

my emotions dissolve,

and not a trace remains.


scream in a dark cave

my ears burst from the pain

do you hear me now?

an endless abyss which hears not


the cries of its worshippers,

refusal to see your own jagged edges

continuing onward and not hearing the starving

nor the blood which is left behind.

Too Much Crying

 Everything used to be big when I was small, or maybe it was just that it was the same size and I was shorter. Sometimes I have vague memories of a hallway that I no longer know, each step tall enough that I had to lift my leg high up to my waist to climb up them. There was someone waiting at the top for me, a nondescript figure in brown heels. The ones that look like they have a T going across them. With each step that I take up the stairs, her mouth moves. I can’t comprehend that she is talking to me. Colorful paint has been put on all of my fingers by a tall lady, who probably isn’t that old but she’s so much taller than me that I can’t see the top of her. Taller than the highest tower that I can build out of blocks, taller than me until they go falling down. It was hard work to build that tower of blocks, and I cried when they fell down. I didn’t like seeing my tower fall down.  Just like when the tall lady puts the paint on my hand, I start to cry because it is cold. I do...

 Here’s a silly little post about the cat that’s been wandering around my neighborhood lately. He’s pretty friendly! One of my friends commented that my messages read like poetry, so I turned the text into a poem. [originally posted on Instagram.] 💞 There was cat yesterday. The cat likes me. He was following me back to my house. This is not my cat. It is my neighbor’s cat. I cannot catnap a cat.  I still don’t know the cat’s name, so I’m calling him Kitty Cat. His ears twitch when he hears me talking. The cat distribution system cannot be denied.

Cards, a short story

May 24, 1987 It’s so warm. I can feel the beads of sweat trailing down my face, not bringing any relief with them. The heat is just as intense, wrapped around me with the sensation of a second skin. I can’t seem to escape from it. Opening the window doesn’t do anything; all that happens is that the smell of smoke is drifting into the house. Groaning, I slam the window closed. The sound reverberates through the house. From downstairs, I hear a crashing noise. The resulting swears only cement my certainty of the culprit. It’s my brother, John, like always. He’s always the same. John works downstairs with his projects all the time, claiming they’re delicate operations and nothing is more important. I hold my breath as my brother appears at the top of the basement stairs, holding something rectangular and gray in his hand. The unpleasant smell of paint is permanently engraved in my memory within seconds. “What was that?” John asked, his eyes landing on me. “You ruined my project, an...
