Starting Axioms

Key in 2+2=
Some get 5.
Some get 8.
And some, 4.

It all depends
on the axioms of life—

none is less,
none is more.

 

Existential Inventions

The universe
never sought
the meaning of
my breaths.

The desire
was an invention
entirely my own.

 

Low Country Summer

Every morning
glass windows weep—
rivulets running down
in intricate patterns.

Every morning
I hope yesterday marked
the end of their sorrow.

It has been a long
Low Country summer.

 

The Friction of Existence

Looking down
the tunnel of time—
the vision inevitably hits
the mirror of mortality.

The reflection returns.

Chaos ensues.
