only one and one only. additional memories were not required to set their nerves 2 rattling and heart 2 thundering. this one came in the scent of a particular bloom had thrived in the garden. not a crime witnessed. kept within the family until they got a good therapist.

product

the product in your hair 

your face your skin 

cannot compare 

to the essential creative oils of the mind 

will never compare 

to the unmanufactured 

unprocessed pure pure truth 

extracted from the 

heart

One of the weakest characters you could imagine. a customer - but I don't mind. 2025 and I don't even have to show my money or sad desire to your face. Only my phone knows. I scream down the road in my VW at 5am to get my cold brew before the foam melts. In and out. You blink and I am gone.

you idiot

stop watching true crime b4 bed

i tell myself this 

then do it 

again 

i have bad dreams either way 

what's so compelling? 

seeing 

the good people who got offed

avenged? the forensics? 

no. it's reliving my narrow escape

my living nightmare

like i was the one

relentless

when i turn the lights down i let life glitter and fade like the tail end of a comet. the lungs fill up. a lonely dog howls. the words turn into images and bridge to another life. when I dream it's relentless.
