Did You Hear That?

If only you had listened to anything I saidinstead every word was in one ear out the other.Making me pay for the mistakes of your mother.And I was trying to save mine through you.two traumas coming together to make a hardy stew,robust with anxiety, distrust, and melancholyIt’s been so long; I don’t know who I amwithout you. I have an idea, but that’s all.A mirage of who I’d hoped I’d…

Shivering alone in a dark room In a straight jacket fashionfever dreams driving us mad with taunting visages of what’s to come haunting images of what was. oh the agony so sweet on my tongue mead made from the bile stained at the back of my throat.…

My wife texted me: Your favorite is in the oven, eat up! When I opened the oven door, the stewed remains of my daughter’s head stared back at me.

No construction.…
