Context

To extract
From the fray
Conceals
But cannot
Absolve

Sprint.

A girl's smile filled with meaning,
Burns armories and sinks ships.

Life

If. You can bear the hours,
The moments.
Honey.

Anticipation

He knew then
That his small
Heart couldn't
Take such weight.

To rest the
Future of all
Futures on
One choice.

Create notes

"Everything that happens to me is the best possible thing that can happen to me."

Shakespeare

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

Fill

To fill life up
To overflow
To double book
And leave no
Breath unused
Unkempt
Untouched
With movement
Perhaps

Rock

Shuttled back
And forth
From shore
To coral
Scratching hull
A leak
And moan
A steel clank
Mustering
Hope
Smiles
A fool's
Errand
Lifelong, longing
Unfound.

Existence of Death 2

Did he live
For whom we cry
With yelps
And sighs?

Death seems
A formality
Presupposed
By his life.

On The Existence of Death

So death.
So ashes.
And dirt.
With water,
Salted.
So life?
What shams.
With dredge.
With routine.
So death?
What life
To prove it?

Happiness

Happiness has little to
Do with butterflies.

It must be sought out,
And mimed as one does
In childhood when learning
His or her first words.

It must be broken into pieces
Of company, of calm, of experience.

No, happiness is not to be ignored.
It must be wrought from iron.
It must be learned and forged.

Happiness is a whore.
Bought and paid for with
Mathematical pursuit.
