lungs bargaining with the night.
Every poster on your wall
whispers rebellion,
but the ink stains your palms
like unpaid rent.
The chorus of... [read more] |

The devil would like to shatter and despoil your remaining stay:
such that the joy of Faith becomes a sense of obligation;

becomes the burden and dash of spiritual despair;

Hello Stranger

She walked in like a riot in slow motion,
Black boots stompin’ out my quiet devotion.
Skull-printed top with the world on fire,

for all the tea in China
I would meet you in the air
