🍒
sweet cherry soda
fizzes and bubbles my tongue -
breezy summer thoughts

😶
oh, rushing colours
i seek the right emoji
alas, no such emoji...


sluggish hour hand
minutes race ahead
neither know the time

🌌
galaxies,
galaxies,

galaxies!

you're late on your rent.

☁️
when i run
there's nothing
except the movement
of the clouds,
such courage!
such grace!

💀🎋
surely, i must die
and what will i have done?
no more, no less, than anybody else.

🖥
15 tabs still open
computer shutting down -
then, i remember assignment

🦅
seagull traces village -
plastic bag on branch

📺🤛
despite my banging
computer case still rattles
like a seedy toad

⌨️💃
tiptoeing on keyboard
sometimes eureka!
mostly draft...

🍆
wallowing in swamp
bloated hippopotamus -
oh, my tragic sex life!

🔮
you once wished to catch them all
and be the very best
but now you're in my pokéball
and i am jizzing on your breast

🕸
a million lives
a million deaths -
a perfect spiderweb is built

🌧
i hide inside the clouds
collecting all my tears,
stuffed in floating blizzards
composed of tiny spheres

🚲
is that a bike!
sprinkler on swingset...
she isn't coming back.

👩‍💻
reading old drafts
'bumming like a unit'
what did i mean

🔪
more men have been killed
in the name of democracy
than in the name of any god

🏕🌌
summer camp youth
stars dot the sky
we forgot the psychedelics
still, we're just as high

🍻🚕
'drinking and driving
is reckless'
we said,

'we've all run
the gauntlet,'
the cabbie replied.


the details i notice in the night,
the things i will never discuss,
i will take them to my grave,
as billions have before me

imagine the torchlight
licking half-built pyramids,
imagine bruised bodies
and stars.

👶
neighbour's newborn child
magical wonder of life
oh, how loudly it screams

🏢🍃
lifeless buildings,
a plastic bag in tatters -
subtle movement

🏚
dust on window blinds,
i haven't been here for years -
what tales have you seen?

🖼🌧
a distant window
inside, the clouds are weeping
the glass does not care

⚓️
garden of floating anchors
