the grass

kicking the shovel

as i dig my days

i scatter the dirt...

the grass unphased

growing towards a light

it will never meet

how much we have in common

our endless reach

Surface the Rest

No time for delusions

the conclusion came to me.

Briefly, swiftly and undenyingly potent

so undone the ropes became

* * * *

Another day in the rain

Drips from my fingertips

And yes I'm not sane

I'm only dreaming this

* * * *

So I've named the bruises

from fuses I've blown for you.

Aching, fading and elegantly docile

this skin is slick and new

* * * *

Another night without light

shines through my closed eyes.

And no I am right

This truth is still a lie

* * * *

The surface is all you see

The rest you have to believe

The surface is all you'll see

The rest is up to me

The Flood

When the rain began..

 it was sweet and thin..

Never a thought..

 of when it would end.

Before you know it..

 the drops turn sour..

up to my neck..

within an hour.

So fast it came..

So swift it took..

My last breath..

and your last look.
