What Light Remembers
A sky-ku on nature's aperture
Lightning splits the dark
A polaroid of our grief
Caught between thunder

Hearts Are on Backorder
Cupid’s missive arrived at dawn. Crisp parchment, embossed seal, the kind that smells faintly of longing. A formal rejection, folded once. Love is unavailable at this time, it read. Your heart, a bureaucratic backlog. Appeals can take six to eight lifetimes. The aorta collapsed in protest. Veins threatened a walkout.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
