    About this ebook

    A modern book of poetry. This collection of original modern poetry has been inspired by a journey through failure and frustration, which lead to escape- or in other words running away- redemption and ultimately success before those powerful thoughts return once more.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      It is August of the year 2000, and I am cold. I know the sun is shining outside, but there are no windows in the courtroom. The lighting is subdued, darker in the back where spectators sit and lighter in the front where tragedies play out—like a the

      Ghost Girl, Banana

      Aug 21, 2023

      By the time I was 25, there were only two things I remembered about Mumma. The first was that she smelled of watermelons, the second was that we were happy. We’d taken our father’s name of course, but a name is only half a story. The other half exist

      We reach the same conclusion;

      Death.

      A beast snared in a dead end city.

      Resident monkey.

      Give us an hour for life.

      Our sheets are hot cold prisons.

      We’re trapped in with wry pains.

      I don’t get a lot of it

      But what I do is sex & death.

      There’s no transcript.

      I do what I want
