(from months past)

there is light
beneath these sheets
and the fruit
upon this tree
is ripe
so take what you crave
but please be sure
when you are through
to leave a seed
or two

In Celebration

My jowls have now returned to nearly-perfect working condition since the extraction of my wisdom teeth a week ago, and in celebration I warmed up the frying pan for some scrummy goodness. After the grilled-cheese sandwich for my mum I still wasn't satisfied, so I perused the kitchen in pursuit of exciting ingredients to fry. First I fried a few thin slabs of banana, but found them to have reached a pudding-like consistency, which was nonetheless rather tasty. I had about a third of a banana left and decided to fry it whole. But in what? Why, honey of course! With large splashes of cinnamon dashed atop!

It was, quite surprisingly, successful.

Fireflies

it was about midnight
and overcast
and i stepped outside
and i saw

tiny flickering dots of flame floating through the damp night air

and i remembered
for just one moment
why i ever believed
in a god

105 Degrees

is too hot for me
so why is she still dancing
always through my dreams?

Ave Maria

from the heights
she returns to her nest
wielding the words and worms
which once were fed to her
as the solitary sister

she utters a whisper
that wafts its way across the wilderness
she is ready

and at that
she spreads her freshly-feathered wings
for her grandest flight yet

Ave Maria
off to Korea
