A snake eating its own tail
Gratification only lasts an
Instant and then they seek
Another bite, another like
Unwilling to hunt for real
Food, they choke, starving
11.16.19
I wrote you a love story
on a red post-it note
it was short but brilliant
though the glue failed
words tumbled in the air
with orange leaves in fall
11.15.19
A dead man stalks her
Haunting her dreams still
Scars he left covered in ink
A dead man shattered her
Electrocuted, waterboarded
Tortured and terrorized yet
She lives on where most
Would have faded away
