e hele ana 'oe i ke aha?

my dreams are fruitless dreams, i have no seed, only a womb.
where is little red riding hood?
its ridiculous for bodies of water to stay together.

All They Are
His buttons are mad. They stare across the room with empty eyes and all frowning. They are unhappy to be used: all they are is used. So they try to undo themselves. "Stop," I say "Stop, this is too much." And I grab them by their empty eyes and press them back in through their corresponding holes. they are always used.

The One They Call the Healer
The Patient asked again "And what is He for Doctor?" holding up a small serene pill. "Why, that is for the noise!" "Ah, yes, I remember now, and what of Him Doctor?" fingers pinching the same holy pill. "The vision, the vision" the Doctor sighed. The Patient raised the passive pill of Nazareth higher, displaying His friendly smile. "Yes, yes, of course, but what of Him?" "The tremors! Now take the pill!" The Doctor cried and the Patient complied. "Thank you Doctor, I know He died for me, but the reality of it all is terrible!" With that, the Doctor laid the Patient back in his familiar bed, and proceeded to undressed his wife.

The Smoking Tree
During the winter the tree thrived. Fall They arrived, but winter They stayed, lined up- two rows, like in a pack. In Baran They dwelled, and out of Baran They came, to sit and breathe, as nature intended, with the Smoking Tree. But summer drew Them away, and the Smoking Tree craved more, so it sunk its roots deep in the earth, as only an addict would, and took a deep drag, suffocating all life around it, leaving Baran, barren: the pattern of the season.

two haiku

origami lightning
origami dreams
lightning strikes you so harshly
its only paper

your shirt
im wearing your shirt
but you dont know this because
youre not here with me


count the pixels in the sky
caramel wide eyed delight
pick the chills out of your spine
twilight strikes your flesh so harshly
makes me want to kiss the wounds.

you speak volumes in your sleep
cant imagine me without you
yet dreams peak into other worlds
separate us in parallel lives.

the melody of your name
is hummed in the sway of flowers
each one blooming for you
hoping to be picked.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SADNESS

a flower wilts
its petals fall to the ground
while the stem droops
reaching back toward the earth
its presence gone forever.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUBBLES

bubbles,
floating into space
like little presents to the stars
they fill the air until,
one by one they explode
as their journey comes to an end.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLOCKS

clocks,
forever counting
ticking off the minutes
rushing us,
forever rushing
through our lives,
never stopping to admire
the beauty in the....
Moment.
