Favorite Quote:
A writer’s brain is full of little gifts, like a piñata at a birthday party. It’s also full of demons, like a piñata at a birthday party in a mental hospital.


Hurry,
yes! The time has set.
Now one second, two
seconds down.
A gasp, blink, and
a wail.

Outside this
stainless wasteland
we
cry for your future. Had

the road been tore out
months ago? By her one free
hand while she
drank to drown—
a quick-shot remedy;
the abuse they
can’t charge for.

Quick, hear this lullaby;
your home forsworn,
smoked to ashes before
you can think.
How does this feel? When

for just this breath in
the air of defiance,
you need call upon your future.
