Pitter pitter patter patter. Drip drop drip. I’m falling asleep, I’m slipping away, as far as it can get. I try to hold the reigns, I can’t control the bulge, I lose my grasp of this. Sudden shocking balls of light. Cooling flakes of snow. Broken shattered glasses, broken box of family photos. I’ve run […]

Passionate epitaphs have always been my thing. I forget about the moments leading up to the death, forgetting the troubles, the sins, the anger, the mistrust, all of it. A symphony of words release themselves from my vocal cords, heart felt, but misguided; confused, but still true. I’m finding myself in a place where I […]
