An Unholy Machine
Leaves fall dead onto the cotton cushion, leaves from Spring rain once proud now choked by a scorching sun. As another leaf falls I observe the passing of time. Humanity made repulsive as the orchestra of death and life plays on. Where we once sat to commune she will continue. I am a cancer amidst a beautiful land…

You
You will find me here again in two months. Oh, you. You are the idealistic audience who cares and has cared about my struggle. I owe you nothing, i give you everything. I love you when the time is consequential. You are my god and me. You are you whom i created out of an…
