terrible lie

as the sky
scrapes by
the moon
wide eye
sees through
your terrible
lie

sunbeam

you love you work
hard like usual
then dry into cement
your shadow
got up and rambled
left you spent and

they rambled
you lean into a rhythm
break out on a sunbeam
you work you love
hard like usual

immunity auto

when you cannot rely on auto
immunity
the cells spellbound
they bask in

you get up
anyway
shake out these tired bones
and write
