It would be a lie,

If I told you I
am not sad you are leaving.*
And you would know it.

*or
am glad to see you go.

Tonight.

The air is so thick
Smoke sinks, rather than rises.
My heart is heavy.

Candace & Sister

I used to look at
You with love and caring. Now
Only with disgust.

Lazy

I'll try the rhythm.
But it won't be easier
Than not trying it.

For some reason,

Rain, only tonight,
Feels less like the tears of God,
And more like my own.


wrote this last night.

When I'm with you,

I see skyscrapers -
You never make me taller.
While I shrink, you grow.

Compliance Traps

It's called foot-in-door.
When each event is little,
I cannot object.

this is the haiku version. I'm working on the longer one, still, and I doubt I'll ever finish it.

Death.

Life is terminal:
A disease without a cure -
Cryonics, maybe?
