2024.4

Warm sand 'tween my toes
A naked sun to gaze at
My little island
There is peace in the breeze here
Better alone than lonely

2023.58

A dark room, alone
Listening to the quiet
My mind doesn't know

Gripped in steel and ice

A resigned heart beats slowly

For the time being

This chest’s been empty

A cage only for frigid air

Then you messaged me

Repeat after me,

“I’m alone, but not lonely.”

The silent mirror.

Hey, are you still there?

Whisper in a dark bedroom

Met with dark silence

Plain. Ordinary.
Hardened after some time and
Exposed to the air.
