Plaster Dreams
Whispers of Love in A Fleeting, Imagined World
Here's a poem inspired by the themes of "Ceilings"by Lizzy McAlpine,
Plaster Dreams
Beneath these plastered ceilings high,
A quiet breath, a wistful sigh.
Your laughter fades, a soft refrain,
Like fleeting drops of summer rain.
The air between us hums with weight,
An unsaid truth, a twist of fate.
Your hand so close, yet far from mine,
A shadowed edge, a fragile line.
I spin a world of tender lies,
A place where your gaze never dies.
A dance beneath the crescent glow,
Where time bends slow, and we both know.
But plaster cracks, and dreams dissolve,
The truths we fear, they all evolve.
I blink, you're gone—a fleeting spark,
A whispered name in endless dark.
So here I sit, beneath the sky,
No longer ours, no reasons why.
The echoes linger, bittersweet,
Of something whole, now incomplete.

The Ground does not deserve you
There are places you return to out of habit, not belonging. Rooms that once held you because you didn’t yet know you had the right to leave. People who mistook your endurance for agreement, your silence for consent, your presence for loyalty. Coming back to the ground with clarity means seeing all of it without the old fog softening the edges. You stand in the doorway of your own life and realize that some of the ground you’ve been walking on was never meant to hold your weight.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
