Down this Road Alone

The silence fills this house
like something fierce

and yet
all I can do
is listen
and hear your voice
booming through
my hollow bones

And yet
All I can do
is sit here
waiting
for when
you come home.

On Giving Up

Seated on the edge of the Earth
With nowhere else to go.

The words they spoke
branded on my arms
like a badge of a tragedy.

And there is nowhere left to go from here.

Oh,

how the fire burns 

me

How the fire 

licks at my skin

like a feverous 

animals.

How I am lost

within

the flames.
