a stranger no name no face yet the

bittersweet wave of banter of bacon and bio

crash my remote shores.

dachshunds, daffodils, and dragons,

enumerations with no end: you talk, i listen.

four a.m., five? sleep’s empty threats

goad but stop at the sweet dreams… of him.

haphazard infatuation

in too deep, no way out. my words

jagged in a sea of silkiness. he, a

king… a title fitting; his infectious

light-hearted laugh

magnified (180μm)

no flaws,

online, offline, entwined

put your hand in mine.

queen? a sad misnomer.

resolutions broken, a

soul out of touch, another

tongueless taste of

unrequited love.

victim again, or valkyrie. i’m a

warrior. feelings destroyed and never

explained. old texts from 

yesterday read 3000 times

zigzagging in my mind.
