“Fragments of an Inevitable Collapse”

that glimmer in your eye
was terribly soothing

taught to wear
resiliency in braided hair

Yes, there are dark corners
to cling to

I want to call you up
and say that every
movie I watch lately
stars you.

Now my mouth doesn’t know what
my shadow is saying.

“The miracle wasn’t that the statues were crying;
It was in the amount of people who undoubtedly
believed that they were witnessing one.”

There is no
resolution
or solution
when a ghost
hops time zones

Empty beak speak,
silence can seem so deafening

Sleep, sweet,
tomorrow stings…

Watch how I attempt

to balance inflated eggs

upon my last spoon.

There’s no better time than a lockdown to rediscover your love for an old cartoon you watched as a child.
