I know after last week's election... [read more] |

"Breaking the Fourth Wall"
The waiter drops a tray— not by accident, but because the script needed a clatter. We all pretend surprise, though the stage lights already gave it away.
A couple at the corner table argues in perfect meter... [read more] |

what floors remember
The silence here is heavy,
walls remember what I cannot forget.
Every corner holds a shadow,
every breath tastes of absence.

cloth frayed with traces of touch.... [read more] |
