Needing

when my cat
kneads me

I tell him

I need him

Sky Tears

sky tears
soft dripping dew
cleansing
renewal
washing away
regrets

death

the sky crying
in the new year
wishing for peace
on earth

The Size Of Thighs

i forgive you.

Cheap Date

wasted youth on
being wasted
tasting the lips of liars
with checkered pasts

playing the game

I liked to shop
hunting for bargains
hunting for game
game over

he was no bargain
what is the price
you'll pay?
at what cost?
