red green blue

we were laughing
and occasionally
looking to see each other laugh
you sinking into the couch
me reclined with a kitten

our eyes drawn forward
into the phosphorus
flickering mystically
like a drug soothing

disguising the potholes
of our life together

i already miss you

radiator

rumbling rattling
clanking deep and distant
hollow moaning

enough pressure
to crystalize blood

every prayer

she said it
she loves you
be still

rest in motion -- ok so the proposal
didn't go as planned
it could have gone bad

let every breath be a prayer for peace
let every prayer be a breath for peace

don't judge
she said
this is the only way i know to tell you this
the story is its untelling
be still
silly mortal
