Radio Paranoia (a poem)
Unplugged radios play broadcasts
of rage, wrath; singular messages
intended for my ears only
signals from space
reaching this place
where I listen carefully
stammer incessantly
and know, just know
they’re coming for me

A Visit from the Grim Reaper (a poem)
The Grim Reaper visits me in the heat
of noontime, black cloak passing
sun’s rays into my eyes, blinds me.
I cannot see (why) the Reaper is here,
picking this time in bitter sunshine to
hoarsely whisper sweet nothings.
A bone-white face, cruel, he opens
his jagged mouth and screams, the sound
smashes windows, makes babies cry.

like a thief in the dark night
breaks into a house
steals your sense of sanity
robs you of all you hold dear

It may just be the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We don’t know anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don’t know.” ― Pema Chödrön
