sunlight and soft peaks
to get round this
to know what is good meat
to know what weakness is
— panchiko, think that's too wise

i need to get back into writing poetry. this is an attempt. i'm not sure what the theme is or anything like that, but i hope i can use this as some kind of poetic outlet. i have lots of ideas, but i can never expand on them. this is an attempt. ever since napo, i haven't been able to get any words out. i want to change that.

i need to stop writing for other people. i need to start writing for myself.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

i see a body,
feet planted on the ground.
i see it in the stains on the couch,
the boundaries between skin and upholstery.
i see a brown carpet, spilled milk from
2018 that never got cleaned.

a light upstairs turns on.
it flickers, slightly. our silhouettes
can be seen through the curtains.

there is nothing to be said here.
i see you sitting next to me,
but you are not a body anymore.
you are holding my hand and laughing,
laughing at it all.
i think i've finally lost touch.

i leave the voyeurs where they stand
and i sit in the way back.

i think of trees
in fall when i think of her;
auburn fluttering when it hits the light
the right way, brown in the dust kicked up
when the trunk topples
from the storm.

she wants to show me the world.
i want to sleep on the couch with her
when she's scared of the thunder.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
  








You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
