Hell in Paradise

The bark of guns
Fade into the background
So part of the dark outside
That silence
Scares the tough shell courage
From his adolescent body Continue reading “Hell in Paradise”

I will read you

I will read you
Like poems,
Like anthologies of poems
Like words painted on pages by old stencils
I will read your past Continue reading “I will read you”
