chrysanthemum moon 
i peel off another layer 
of sorrow 
that nobody 
will notice

not a single star 
out of place 
in the Milky Way 
the garden gate 
left ajar all night

Milky way.jpg
Flowers on a Tombstone

bringing a pot of coffee 
& cigarettes 
to my mother’s grave 
we have never spoken 
so honestly

losing herself 
within these stark white walls 
disappearing 
unnoticed 
a shell of a woman

White Room

giving back 
the ring 
taking back 
my heart 
april rain
