Grow Gray With Me

Subtle motions with jarring consequences. Somethings don't work when they should. Worse yet, they may at times work when they have no right to do so.

Shopping for a Coffin

It’s the cheapest model
but they don’t know that
the wood is nice and sharp
the finish is matte black
the inside is frilled silk
but empty otherwise.
Once it is filled
no one will see
what there in resides.
All that is left are the
remains on the outside.

Coffin

A hollow tree stands
setting sun
the wind teases it

Insides ripe with life
dead somewhere
but hiding it well

Shaded canopy
discarded
such heights tend to burn

Ashen desires
serve the wood
but spoil the leaves

Thick envy
in green moss.
