Umami Existence

sitting in front of a screen for hours without blinking
isn’t umami —

working through headaches and pain
isn’t umami —

if i wasn’t my sunday lazy

let me tell you something
sunday is my day of rest
it’s for the best
i use my brain for something else today

WHIP

whip
wake up head
whack the whale
weary eyes leave shadows on my skin

Standing the Heat With Torture

It’s not the bright day I recommend
But the grey day I’d like to extend
With few tasks to finish

Time Without Memory

Time is ticking
Moving backwards
Memories flush
Through a tortured brain

Sonnet #25: Peace

When every drop of hope seemed spilled with ease
By narrow minded people without thinking
The enemies of freedom make their peace
Don’t hesitate to drop your glass of drinking

The Only Way Is Up

There are abandoned places
You can look at them from home
There are abandoned items
Only seen in the wild

Only Tear Drops

It’s only water
Dripping along the wall
From the ceiling to the surface below
This constant flow
