Early Mornings and Ice Storms

I love snowflakes because they're symmetrical and unique and frigid with disinterest and make me want to kill kill kill until spring.
In early February ice fell with a vengeance until I couldn't walk without falling, until even the gutters and filth were beautiful, and all the boughs were bowed like handcuffed drunks, shameful and shackled under a half inch glaze of freezing rain. Transformers popped and sent cascades of sparks in unnatural colors, like grenades or mortar shells and gave old men flashbacks
of Vietnam, of darker

Dust to Dust

The fading light painted your face in colors that don't have names but I kept my silence because there was nothing I could say that the sun couldn't say more eloquently
I sat beside you and hoped
that the arm around your shoulders would never be enough because if the day came
that I was everything you wanted you would have no reason to press tighter against me because if that day came when you no longer needed more no longer needed me to struggle no longer needed to pin our hearts to the wall and skewer them with arrows you and I cou

TowerOnce we got outside of town, the stars grew and multiplied; scattered pinpricks of soft light became mercilessly brilliant holes in the blackness. We drove until the road burrowed into the trees and became organic, caressing the contours of the hillsides, making furtive climbs, then diving back into the valleys, the van shuddering over potholes. Branches stretched above up, frozen in mid-reach, waiting for our attention to lapse so they could reach out and make us disappear, drowning out the glow of the frail waning moon, casting everything as a silhouette.

I’m awake
because I don’t dream anymore and it’s so much easier to get up from bed when I’m not leaving anything behind.
I’m awake but my eyes still shudder under light and outside my bed the dirt is paved with cigarette butts and painted walls are peeling and crumbling away, ugly and safe, but half-redeemed by the mottled sky, filled with fire and urgency.
Today is banality and arson, sin, redemption and love, so stick needles in my side and keep me The Definition of April

Fountain In The Sky

Haibun: Bells RingingThe old familiar sound of the Westminster Quarters rings through the buildings, as an ominous reminder of the late hour. One, two, thee, four chimes echo from the stone walls around me, dampened by the day old snow resting on the ground for a brief moment before melting and becoming one again with the clouds. I'm alone out here, with not even the sun to keep me company, as I take a drag from the cigarette. It's not my first of the night, nor will it be my last.

I've been gone awhile, but now I'm going to try to be back. I'm in South Africa, studying at Stellenbosch University. It's pretty baller, I think.

I need to catch up on things.

I need to sign on this thing more often. Or perhaps you should join Mercury Ice and post your stuff there. That's somewhere I always remember to go, haha.
