‘you’re hurting me’
sky falls
a slap to the head
the sea notwithstanding
still, a ringing in my ear
and you, with your fondness
for forests, leave me as still
and cruelly as silent.
my stupid facial expression
from its pocket and read
like an inscription
duplicity has again
set its teeth onto me.
while you, indifferent,
unspeaking and unsharing,
slowly become what he became to you;
an instrument,
no longer the heart.

‘it’s midafternoon and i’ll be drinking all night’
sit, rediscover faith;
false prophets will eventually
drain your pocket in time.
your maker won’t be found in gospel
rather the sting at the back of your throat.

‘fodder’
what attracted you to my writing in the first place?
did you say to yourself here is a man
unabashedly sharing his pains and losses
and inner most thoughts sans the veil
of anonymity in such a refreshingly raw and
vulnerable way that eventually i’ll reduce him to a depth
lower than he’s ever wanted to know?

‘the logic of drinking bourbon alone’
an untimely breakup
is like a death really,
your lover in the here
no longer in the now.

there are no leads
a crime scene now
he thumbs through his phone
searching for clues
a motive behind the tragic death
of a starstruck boy
and his once in a lifetime love.

‘learning to show you my bruises too’
sometimes it’s just one thing
that sends the insecure boy scrambling
for hidden meaning, for deeper meaning,
so scared you’ll say
it’s time for you to go home.
sometimes the man smiles
while the boy stands in tears.

‘take what you are wherever you are’
in my house and i feel unsettled.
out of my house and i feel unsettled.
within myself and i am grounded.

‘mine’
she collects hearts
wherever she goes
yet dropped the biggest
she’ll find.
