love me if you dare

a less-than-sincere note to critics
maybe you think you know me
and maybe you do
but if you read this and find
me a little strange
or even frightening,
then i guess you never knew me
welcome to the real world

Thursday, October 20

your silence

you wear your silence
wrapped around you
like a shroud; a
weather-beaten raincoat worn
too thin around your shoulders.

crouching over,
you keep the patters of
incessant giggling
from staining you like
carelessly spilt icecream.

cement fills your mouth,
reassuringly heavier than
the wisps of cold grey
you walk in.

the stone on your chest
barely rises with each breath.
it is white and plain, with
a single inscription;
your name.

yours truly
