crack a smile
laugh through the ignorance
coldest of summers
might leave a few scars
i looked through my hands and
saw only ground, shifting
apart from sky away
from head, racing
crack a bone
once damaged in youth
now mostly decayed
obsolete flesh
holding flame to dead skin
like a child
curious of pain
self-inflicted
overlooked
excruciating memories
shy away into left arm
a colorless life

human empathy tossed to the wind
fascist nicety now common trend
“abide to the rules that we
laid out for you and your kind”
uncivil participant met
with a biased fury
and a gun to your head for all time
centuries old cycles
decades old minds
being brought back to life
violence in song
hatred in rhythm
we dance for our lives
as they stand in line
in racist phalanx
we dance
with a gun to our head for all time

Sunset Cherry Freeze

Days when I feel less alive
I will drive my car up to that mountain side
that one where you took your life
And as I watch the sun go down
not far from our hometown
I will sit and contemplate
shifting into first
And driving straight for your sunset smile.

I never wanted to take my life but as I grow older I realize why these thoughts might have crossed your mind.
It’s not that I want to die
I just want to feel something
I need, I need
some reprieve
Some reprieve
I am drowning.
I miss when things were simple x2
You said things would get better
I just keep feeling heavier.
