regret

heed the silence that follows
truer than any promise made
the sound and fury of a hidden life
you cannot dream this into submission

2016 bc (before covid)

we kissed in george town
where sidewalks are an afterthought
where one must step into oncoming traffic
or take no chances at all
i’m glad we took ours

love strabismus

your eyes avoid my face
my face avoids your averted gaze
why should i apologise

cookies & milk

the cows are lowing again
cookie dough spilling from each end
their udders remain virginal

anywhere but here

i wandered the impossible earth
locked myself in uncharted rooms
i never knew where i ought to be
lost my thoughts to the memories of old trees
somewhere surely winter must end
somewhere surely there’s a little less rain
