One for sadness

It's because there's so much associated with them, I think.
But it's weird how
I've lived almost twenty one years
and in all that time I never really saw
how beautiful
magpies are.

Drag

this will be painful.
but the purges have been worse than this, always worse,
and you've survived them.
this time, unlike others
it is a conscious choice.
tomorrow is composed of maybes.

September

Evades your misconceptions and flees earthly blight,
Your ailment
Your cholera.
Not conventional, nor chic,
that would be too easy.

Is it ever easy?

Don't answer that.

Intolerable stupidity and
righteous disappointment do battle

for thrones
of nearly gold.
