about

Peel back layers of still viscous paint caked over pupils; scrub senses clean of lingering
apparitions.
Bruised shoulder again meets wheel and ekes out a millimeter of movement.
Pour in your twenty-two gallon bucket of life until, overflowing with unarguable placehood, you build a shrine over this sound-world; sear the door with a porcelain sunrise: shattered and aspiring.

I made you tea, but by the time you read this the dried leaves will have steeped so long they’ll leave a bitterness in your mouth
jitterbug hands
plowing furrows along nailbeds and between brows as though sowing some vital crop.

Something smells like it’s burning.
“We must create at the same scale as we can destroy” (cast in neon shadow, itself destructive)
Creation is small resistance. Art cannot heal the world, only mark time: a heat-shimmer of ‘there’ flickering above ‘here’
affords something more than a mirage to polish dusty throats.
