One day, my heart was lost in thought,
So sad... confused... a love distraught.
It longed to find a melody,
A song for sailors lost at sea.
Upon a boat, his music played,
A tune of shells, the waves obeyed.
The wind of love, it swayed so high,
Then whispered low, a longing sigh.
She whispered, "Oh, how divine!
Is this the shell's own song so fine?
Or is it just a flute’s soft cry,
A lonely reed beneath the sky?"
Sad... confused... his heart confessed,
"Oh sea, you know, I gave my best!
Yet still, you throw me to the sand,
Though I reach out with trembling hands.
I sing to you, my heart’s refrain,
So you may hear my love’s own pain.
Your restless waves, they rise and fall,
They tried to hold me, through it all.
They longed to kiss me, touch my face,
But doubt had stopped their wild embrace.
They closed their eyes, they turned away,
Yet still, they dreamed they'd find a way."
Again they tried, from far then near,
A chasing tide, a love sincere.
Oh, waves so lost, how hard they tried,
But fate had left them unsatisfied.
Your tides grew tired, yet still they stayed,
They never left, they never strayed.
With every note, I sang my pain,
A love so deep, a lost refrain.
A love so vast, I won’t forget,
A heart so torn, a soul in debt.
And when your waves reach out once more,
I’ll sing again... just like before...

Part Two: The Gypsy Hassan's Tale
Part Two: The Gypsy Hassan's Tale In the distant past, where clouds drifted through the sky, There was Hassan the Gypsy, whose moods shifted like a cloud, He changed like a chameleon, coloring his life, Who could understand his heart or decipher his fate written in the divine script?

A Little Bit Of God
January 2026 I thought I’d spend the night in neon lights on grainy film but my brother is telling me how an eternity of hell is caused by prevalent peace, and who am I to disrupt such a thing? So I found myself in the same skin with the same sights, wondering whether or not I am one of those– do I feel peace? Do I expect more when it is gone? It being everything. We’re running out of time but the car is belching up something strange and we’ve got God in between our eyes nodding along to every apology and plea spoken for our friends and loved ones– they don’t know any better, they’ll come around eventually. He’s telling me about barbed wire guides around lives and ties and wives and lies and, look, the snow is starting to fall so I guess we better hang up soon. But it’s been too long. We’re building fields of skills and realms of distrust and these moments are only seen now, can no longer be read as words, only swept with eyes upon oil pastels or smudged charcoal. It’s a painting of an evening, like Daniel’s soles in Edgar Degas’ mind, but if anything is just it’s the lack of unrest in skin like His and lives like this– okay, so maybe five hours on the phone is a lot if you have a job and you’re trying to cook dinner, but only one of us falls into that gorge and only one of us believes in what lies beneath it. My brother tells me things that sit in my spirit like half an ounce of prospect and a squeeze of bourn, how he tells God to let me in: despite my sins, despite all the moons in between these calls, despite the burning in both of our throats. I do feel peace here. I also feel that my peace is a subpar window job, a pinky’s strength avoiding blizzards inside the bedsheets. I’d like to spend more nights like this, with contrasting disaster living between a speakerphone, and God finding some space in between.
