Enough
I might mourn the existential despair that floods me later, but for now, a cup of tea in my hands and the sun on my cheeks, this moment is enough.
Inevitable Existence
The gate
That keeps me from falling.
Off the cliff.
I loosen the screws
Holding it together, like
going home.
There is only 1 outcome.
I was grateful.
The View.

When I was young I used to sing in the shower.
As an adult I often find myself standing in the shower contemplating the meaning of life.

Overflowing Cup
when you have
an overflowing cup,
just get another cup
because you'll always
need more.
Just One More
“You’ll be happy,
For a half-century”,
Unfathomable eternity
When they were twenty.
Those years do not help
Now. Soul-wrenching death.
She’d remake the earth
For one word, for one breath.
Cycle
We're humans. We take whatever slithers out of the deepest voids of this beautiful world, ruin it with our own two hands then complain until our curiosity is peaked again.
