this
jagged edge
is
too much
for me
to
navigate
so i have
decided to just
sit
for a spell
let the
raggedness
of this world
of pain
settle into my
weary bones.

it isn’t the
setbacks
but the
continuous line
of them
that
tarnishes the
spirit.

i am a
stargazer
looking into
paper bags
with a telescope
seeking
answers
to
questions
that do not exist
while wondering why
the celestial bodies
refuse
to share themselves
with my
lustful occulation.
