Day 30

from the frail and warm memories

of a child,

to the dishevelled babbling bones;

everlasting selfishness changed the soul to stone.

Day 29

leaving behind

intoxicating circles,

burning nights,

an unending desert

and dark nightmares in her heart,

she begins the journey to tomorrow.

for every person who has spent time

together,

dampness and undesirability intensify.

splendid stories burned down

to the ground.

lovely old glass laughs,

now stay haunted and forgotten.

A Peek

fragments of words

served wearily

with doughnuts and coffee

the sullenness matching

the barely tolerable disharmony

of their mocking relation.
