can entangle your feet
and drown your day.

Coast
Driving along the invisible coast of loneliness
he knew his bruises hid more easily at night.
AVP
Itinerant
His itinerant footprints in the sand
were swept away long before
he could even turn his head to look at them.

Chaos
These hands
that build tomorrows bridge
from clutter and chaos,
is a dangerous brokeness to cross.

Tasted
He held his art to feel less alone,
yet his tears still tasted the same.

Crooked
When courage wasn’t home.
he walked back down to the crooked tree
where light bows down to the night

Alone
He turned off the light
not because he wanted darkness
but because the light had become it.

before your words became bruises,
before your hands were a weapon,
before my shirt lost its white,
and before tears were my food,
you were my father
and i was your son.

Splinters
He saw where the tears of wine
had left their stains of disappointment
deep inside
the splinters of a broken table.

plan b
old shadows
that hover over the rocks and stones
in front of him
lead him with the wicked echos of regret
that his life had only become
his plan b.
