She Said I Thought I Could Walk on Water
I’m not afraid of drowningIt happened the first time when I was 4No, I’m not afraid of drowning…Just my lungs collapsing on themselvesAnd water floating through my noseAbsolving me of my sense of smellAfter going too deep into the public poolI start to choke, but it doesn’t come outInstead filling another gaping holeMy tongue powerless… Continue reading She Said I Thought I Could Walk on Water

The Fox
I am the aging foxFull of song not sungYou are the willful houndBlood bound and forever young It is you who carved the paths through this deep dark woodAnd instructed the trees to whisper their beliefs instead of grow their limbs into legs and disperse from the ground in which they were stunned It is… Continue reading The Fox

Tapes

Wishing Well
Echoing through the cavernsLike hieroglyphics etched into the wellsThrough the crevices that led me inAnd shut me outJust as quick A single drip of waterFrom each direction that it fellBlotched caricatures of a manSignalling smoke out for help Down comes another quarterIt’s wallet forever out of reachSmacking against the concreteIt spins a few feet in… Continue reading Wishing Well
