Poetry is Better than Music

I had to make a poem fast.

Not the best but "that'll do, pig. that'll do".


the onion skin broke

cracking and peeling in useless

death

like so many hands of the fated

humans

the skin ripped wide and chided

it's children

who lived and liked to cause

such chaos

it fell away to reveal the next

dead layer

of cells, tumultuously to molt

we had not killed it

it was already dead

Mental Health Day

Restless
In the unquiet silence they sit
restlessly with a sudden slowing
lurch of spirit that says
they can no longer live
inside their skins
with this pulsing life ripping their seams
so ungently like the wind
its grotesque smirking liberty
that whisks them away into the night
filled with celestial beings that sit unquietly
in the sounding forever
