Dream

I hold no awakening
the minute you catch a sun
as it falls in my head in sleep

stress

the weight on your chest grows
by the number of years you add

subtract the way the world moves
outside of you

trees, clouds and the stars as they align
the plans you make and keep denying yourself the chance

to make come true
this weight on your shoulders

these long nights
these thoughts that belong to humanity

coming back only to find you
lying on your back, breathing slowly

once more 

haikus for an uneventful evening

A hazy evening
a mad hairy dog moves
like wind melting chocolates

what does it mean to not hold a destiny?

it meas another definition
of the verb roll

like throw carelessly into the pit
where you cannot see the end

this is what it means to not hold a destiny
said the beggar who sits on the doorstep

distraction

distraction is the gift of those
who are willing to buy time
to save themselves

at a party, your voice

at a party
your voice follows me
the falafels are present
you scream loudly
like I would hear you,
over all the versions of music

facing fear

like the start of a new month
like standing on a high tower
this is how we face fear

with a head that's never ready
with a heart that's careless
