Reality Not Myth

You wake up sober
because you haven't been drinking
and you begin to feel bad
for all the writers and artists
over time immemorial
who have fallen to the false
promise of drink
and built their myths
on the power
of this escapism
Fuck forever
Fuck immortality
Give me a good nights sleep
and feeling alive
at the hour of my waking
each day

Romancing Myth

I am not a mythical creature.

I am very much real.

Narcissus

they post pictures

of their beauty

not knowing it will pass

Myth & Fact

Perfection is a non-
existent state.

It's attainment, myth.

Death is constant,
endless, impartial,

a transition, to what?

Silly me, silly you,
silly, fretful creatures.

Origin & Myth

Lets get married.

First, we kiss,

exchange vows

to cement the intangible.


The story is never so simple.

Trace it backwards,

chance and circumstance,

connections made or missed.


Awkward moments

of grinding uncertainty,

the moment of asking.

Acceptance and relief.


The steadying bloom

of uncertain petals

hide beneath branches,

a shaded place.


Could the moment

of Love's inception

be more vulnerable

than we remember?


Darling, lets kiss.

Remove origin

and myth,

Kiss.
