Sweet, salty, cool to the tongue
a river of caramel and cream
let’s dive in and drown
Together.
Sweet Together

The Obdurate Sinner
Photographer Unknown
If I am going to burn
because I am not good enough
pure enough
smart enough
to see and hear
what I am supposed
to think and feel
defined by rules
and deeds
penned by another’s hand
I will gladly strike the match
and go with the flames
free to run, free to walk, free to fly
free to be me, free to be a dream, free to sleep
free to think
and breathe.
You can stand there.
You can watch me burn, see by my light
and wait for the darkness to take you
back.
Word of The Day: Obdurate

We go there when we are tired of running
even when
all
of the signs say turn back
walk, crawl, drag yourself
away from here
as fast as you can.
We close our eyes and fly into the familiar
hungry darkness .
Without hesitation.

You know where the bodies are buried
nothing can surprise you
nothing will haunt you
not here.
Not in the familiar darkness.

Base is where we find ourselves
when we dig down
hit the bottom
and find ourselves
wrapped in the arms of the familiar and hungry darkness
standing with relief
in our graves.
