oh

oh, the bliss that must come with
the ignorance to your own actions
the knives you spit with vehemence
whether involuntary or by choice
a deaf man could’ve felt
the disappointment in your voice

i guess

you’re busy playing wordle in a ******* bathroom
you’re talking to your future self inside a vacuum
you only know their songs from one of the guitar hero games
but you’ll wear the t-shirt all the same

u-haul

i finally knew
why we never met
on the other side of the move

you packed the broom
while i packed the *****

waking up to say goodnight

i talked to a stranger on the phone
it wasn't the face i've known
but i'm pretty sure it had his bones
i walked a minefield of catching up
with the hollow cheeked husk
of a man i used to love

letter to a younger man

the highs, the lows, the overdose
the nights alone, the empty phone
i wish i'd know where this would go
i would have got off long before
it broke the wings i used to soar
and left my heart an open sore
you don't know what you're in for
hey, what's your favorite dinosaur?

landscape potrait

beneath the golden iris
blue glare shared between
waves of a luscious green
more stars than i've ever seen
the beauty i can see
everytime you turn to me

minute

an invasion against the sky
by the monoliths that rise
man is the tread that's evident
intricate prints of the heaven sent

but little to none have we ever known
of the schemes that steam our wins and woes
our dreams at night and oceans below
the fires that burn
the winds that blow
