• Binds

  Why when we both hope the best We are sporting many scars Due to dine in our best dress Across no man’s table passing barbs. With only feet between us Miles and worlds apart Strangers on a nighttime bus With entirely separate hearts. Why despite a love for you Do other beds entice Why our…

• Hobobituary

  Rotten with Druids cider, ruckling out breathy rebel songs Rum ruddled rounded cheeks, angelsheet a bellthroat throng A house window teases warm light, warmer than any fire without; in there is where I belong.
