from the blue,
grey tears fall down;
down, on to straightforward skin
sweetest agony must be endured;
endured, for uncomplicated love

Fearless Hearts
fearless hearts
wounded and wry
forgotten pains
waving sadness away
Kitchen Issues
I dream of the kitchen
cupboards smashing
against your head,
and I
cannot
stop
smiling.
The Hardwood Floor
I saw a smooth and beautiful hardwood floor made of oak the other day; When I saw the hardwood floor, I recalled that hardwood floor that you and I lived upon in that place.
I recalled the nights of cold and terror, the torture of your words, the way you humiliated me, and the way you changed me forever.
Your Socks
We loved each other so well.
You used to throw your socks at the bookcase when you arrived home, I would scold you, and then you would give me that disarming smile of Satan.
I would always wash your socks, hang them up to dry or put them in the dryer, and then lay them out in pairs only to fold them into smiley faces.
You decided to stop throwing your socks at the bookcase. Instead, you started taking them off in your computer room surrounded by your books, snacks, and hentai.
I wept for us and decided to let you go.
You’ve gone away, never to throw those smelly socks at the bookcase.
The ones you left behind don’t smile the way they used to.
Dust Collectors
She read widely about minimalism and how joy fills a home with little.
She loved blue and white porcelain so much, yet it sat in her house behind glass.
Something changed as she listened to doom metal: an understanding.
Something had to be done with the porcelain that irked her so.
She lined the porcelain teapots, cups, and saucers in front of the speakers.
She took a breath, blasted the porcelain with doom metal and watched them dance.
The beloved porcelain is no more, but oh, how entertaining it was.
