A little more time
A pause
Life on hold
Pause, pause, pause
Many breaths
With enough breaths
A day has passed
And death is once again
As it should be
Reviled

Often, we just need to wait it out.
I spiral and spiral and I just know, at the bottom of these spirals, that I’m not supposed to have lived, not supposed to live; I know that I do not contribute enough to be worth the space and time I occupy. …
August 31, 2025 “If you were to die tonight, right now, that beautiful water and birdsong could be your last music.” “So to die now could be a beautiful end, but once gone, I’ll never hear that magnificent peace ever again.” “The world falls silent for us all one day, for each of us in our own time. One day, those birds will be gone too, along with any who could appreciate them. Neither existence nor non-existence truly hold anything of import. Not until the end of days, that is.”

Followed up by: Denial Determined
Every heartbeat, dishonest;
Every breath, wasteful;
Every action, fraudulent.
This perseverance, cowardice;
An ending determined, righteous.

I don’t want to exist
like this;
but I still know,
and can’t forget.
Some days it’s a bridge
Some days it’s a rainbow
Whatever it is today…
Beg gracious pardons,
put yourself first for once and
go before them all
The me of today wants everyone to have what they need and at least some of what they want, and to do their best.
Ocean of thoughts crushes under its depths
Thoughts intrude from the inside but almost as if from others
I know they can’t live without me
But, in their insistence on return, it seems
I can’t live without them, either
