Literature Text

This fear that I feel, I don’t think you understand,
It’s not from the corners of the house that I have,
It’s not a demon whispering my name,
nor the voices that continue my endless pain.

It’s from my being, body or soul.
A twist in my stomach or a pain in my toe,
A thought from my mind that only I can hear,
Can ever so easily bring me to tears.

The breath in my lungs come quick and shallow,
For only I can know that inside I’m hollow.
Leave me be, it’s for the best,
Because even now my mind is a test.

Story of the Wolves

Story of The Wolves In the beginning the Sun watched the all worlds, and the Moon watched the Earth. Both watched the life beginning to develop on the blue world beneath them. The Sun only really became interested when men discovered fire, and taught them the use of it. The Moon on the other hand had always been interested, loving the world and all of its creatures. After men learned the many uses of fire, the earth began to suffer. So the Moon gave a gift of her own, granting some wolves the ability of change, and setting them the task of protecting the earth. The wolf, in the shape of a man, came to the humans, asking them to calm

Fallen

When I was little, I held my hands up and there was always a bigger pair there to pick me up, raise me up Dark and cold both accumulate near the ground but I had found a path to heaven, now forgotten as the earth turns 'round; So overcome by confusion, how...? I can't cast my demons out one devil still pulls me down off the earth and off my gentle cloud I lay upon the ground, bloodied, broken, beaten down and lament my fate, silenced now He recalls his immoralities as if they were someone else's little slips and though his words have scarred me much deeper than any knife or whip he parades through town, a man, a god going on about life as

Uninvited

The storm that raged outside brought droplets of water that dashed against the glass of an apartment window like liquid bullets. Even as the city outside his apartment bathed under the rain that tumbled from the blackened clouds, a tired young man lay asleep on his sitting room sofa, his stomach rising and falling in an uninterrupted rhythm. His only company, a young woman about his age, lay prone on a large cushion with her head craned over a book. The hour would have passed in silence were it not for his gentle breaths, the distant thunder, and the rustle of the pages she turned as she feasted on the strings of words that gave way t

Integrity

I’ve never turned down a job. Professional integrity, and all that. But even so, when I saw the name in the file, I cringed. At some point in every man’s career, he gets that job he knows is going to make or break his name. I’d been using this name for a while now, and it had started to get a decent rep behind it. People knew me. Not my face, obviously. I was smart enough to use wigs and contacts; prosthetics, if I had to. A face was too damn valuable, and not so easy to change. Especially if you didn’t go in for all that cosmetic surgery stuff. But names? Names were easy. Names were shoes that you could slip on and

my ask of the witches

not to be critical but in considering the state of our union the state of our world - why have you witches not yet unionized and become more fully engaged? has the time for your focus your concerted action not at long last arrived? we look to the past: slavery genocide the inquisition the black plague World Wars one and two and now - !!! all of which indicates despite multitudes kneeling - praying as theory does not work we need a critical mass a tipping point a 'cleansing conflagration' [only of a sort of course] let's not get carried away however: you await numbers so - expand begin a draft share the craft unite the covens light the ovens [figuratively of course] become vast become exponential identify problems battle problems eliminate problems having become a colossus - thus saving our planet - thus saving us all we should be endlessly grateful to you and if you would I say again - please don't get carried away but - come October have a great

I Sat Down to Write...

I sat down to write… when a black kitten entered my room with a catnip mouse that dangled from her mouth from its blue yarn tail which she dropped onto the floor before she gazed at me with doleful yellow eyes and mewled for a game of fetch I sat down to write… when the water stopped its usual flow throughout our household and prompted a trip outside to a dilapidated shed to fiddle with the fuse box for our pump until the gauge showed full pressure once again I sat down to write… when the freezer for the refrigerator kept in our garage

The Cello's Lament

They call me brute. I'm permitted to chant, but they won't let me Sing. They've confused non-agility for inflexibility— my belly enfolds the earth; my throat trills at the stars; my eyes embrace the cays of the sea. I am an omnivore, yet they will only feed me leaves.

First poem in quite some time. This stems from my paranoia, which after a time of having medicated it away, it returned as I wished to see if it still lived within. Needless to say, it does, and it was worse then ever.
