“Hands make beautiful scenes if you look.”
“Experiencing a landscape in person for the first time”
-e.m.b.
Words I would blend made only poignant mixtures of torment. Resurfacing now, old, stained, smudged copies of dejection, but it is not the same as when first created; it is not agony when I taste it. Instead I clutch this gross batter with bare hands and wring it clean of: self-loathing, hopelessness, isolation, grief, heartache, sorrow. It is a recipe for beautiful poetry, and a damned soul, and a damned soul I am no longer.
e.m.b.
I am not as marvelous as the ocean waves when they linger so slightly on the sandy shore; but I can still make toes curl, and send shivers down spines, with words that quietly maneuver in a heavy ebb.

A Haiku About Double Standards
fuck double standards
I can kiss a lot of boys
and make boxers drop
ive missed writing poetry…glad to be back at it
I just want to drink coffee and die.
