It's the squawking of a million, tiny, iridescent birds. They block my vision when they flock around my home, they blot out the scenery and cover up the woes that beset me as I sit by the window, staring out from my bed. I wish I was on fire, to explain this massive heat that scorches my skin, that leaves me thirsty, that leaves me leaving buckets ( Read more... )

There is no point in admitting my mistakes, I will not do so any way. I refuse to turn myself in for the things I have done with a righteous heart. Being on the run isn't so hard, especially when all the signs tell me to keep moving, keep running, keep spreading the word, brandishing my mark to all who wish to see, blinding those who do not believe ( Read more... )

It was thundering and lightning before dawn today, and with each flash of light, with each rumble there were tiny moments of perfect stillness, when the world suddenly synched with the space between my heart beats. There was electricity in this supposedly winter air, and then it all came crashing down, the fall of my soul as it rose and then ( Read more... )

It is an undeniable truth, the heat, the very intensity of my depression is what keeps the soul coursing through my ethereal veins. The unbreakable chain of sorrow that I lower upon myself, to weigh me down, it is self-inflicted so that I can rationalize living such a horrid existance. I am a shroud covered ghoul, haunting graveyards in memories a ( Read more... )

The horizon flickers, and I am covered in sweat, slick with the fear that rattles the subtle structure of my skeleton. It is so very cold, it hurts, my sweat is crystalizing, cutting razor blade paths across the goosebumped flesh of my skin. I am nude to the waist, wading, waiting with jittering, mind numbing anxiety, waiting for the dark space ( Read more... )

In the long term, we were merely divided by a barrier, simply erected by the distance and time of our mutually exclusive situations. It's okay though, I would visit, a disheveled mess that arrived by train, unshaven and tired, waiting for the side to side clamboring of the trains motion to leave my bones. You would visit, but it was no where nearly ( Read more... )

Hart rolled over, the slow revolutions of a moon spun out of an orbit, in the throes of the gravitational nightmare that is intergalatic travel. Everything about him conveyed a slow life, his almost infinite yawns that would sprawl out in the air, taking a break before they reached the end of their wavelengths, disturbing the air with the finesse ( Read more... )

The sky broke open, a rotten yellow yoke spilling across the land, swathing the small band of men upon horses in its terrible, greasy light. The white powder of the dust they were kicking up as they thundered across the mindless expanse, coated them and their abhorrent vestments. The ghost screams of the people, innocent and guilty, that they ( Read more... )

I'm sitting up in bed, smoking cigarettes, thinking and singing quietly with music in my brain, music beamed in from outer space, where dark eyed aliens hunch over their control panels and whisper in tones that make the vacuum seem seductive. I am lost in thought and then, I am brought back to reality as the cherry from my cigarette burns through ( Read more... )

The clouds roll across the sky, the world descends into night, and in the time between breaths, I escaped. With the chains still clinging tightly to my limbs, with the shroud of my confinement, with the stench of my imprisonment, I run into the cold, night air. I had been held for so long, been forced to confess for so much, I lost sense of my true ( Read more... )
