being prepared to lose until the end
is a given
and so much can happen
around the bend
who’s to say what it will mean to win by then?

the dreamer being dreamed
. . .
poetry, grey matter and btc
as my toes touch the ground
i am pulled away by the ocean of truth
being inside the dream
means believing it’s real
every imaginary pain
twists at my heart
begging to be known
if only i had the strength
to shake free and peel back
the veil
thick with tomorrow’s mistakes
resting gently on fluttering lids
restless with regret
there was only ever this road
the one that leads to the center
this silent void
that is more than empty
heavy with hope
this is what it means
to be awake
to be aware of the impossible
illogical
pattern repeating
until it sounds like language
like someone whispering
welcome home
#poetry #greymatter
from the perfectly broken archives:
there comes a point
in all this talking
where talk is talk
that’s all it is
words
committing suicide
kamikaze
from my lips
taking with them
held hostage
any meaning
that was left
mangled names
broken details,
landing silent
in their death
#poetry #greymatter
as the paint dries
on every self portrait
it’s a good idea
to remember
that i can only ever illustrate
who i was
even as i am becoming
something new
#poetry #greymatter
the reason i love hotels is
there’s nothing of me there
nothing telling me who i am
or who i have ever been
clean slate
fresh fate
