VII. on disapplication of death

forgotten windows
cracked pillars and dead hallways.
decomposition;
the nostalgic scent of death.
we call this utopia?

stains on the carpet
we call this utopia?
time no longer flies
it only sits in stagnance
as we wait for the ending

a light from afar
as we wait for the ending
could this be our End?
(yet hope, forever lost on)
(disapplication of death.)

Spoiler! :

they told me to never give up on my dreams.

VIII. "his" twenty-third dream

blue walls and gray faces
the color has leaked from their pretty eyes
to all the wonderful places.
oh how time flies!

their words are so quiet
the sounds have left their mouth
before they could even cry it
those words, brought far down south

far from the north, enormous trees
block out the sun
with their enormous leaves
oh, how fun!

blue walls and no faces
i'm alone in this quiet cerulean room
with them, they took all traces
of their impending doom.

they told me to never give up on my dreams.

IX. for "you"

i can feel it, you’ve laid this trap for me
(because everything is about me, isn’t it?)
i’m enticed by the sweet honey you’ve left in your wake–
that i gobble up savagely.
(anything for you)

the way you smile, it’s almost as if you’re inviting me
(because all you could think of was me, right?)
i smile back, but your response is just the same smile as before.
you must be so eager for my return.
(anything for you)

even the air about you is mingled with love
(because ‘you’ are making ‘me’ feel your presence)
you push me away, terrified, and i look at you in confusion
you must be playing hard-to-get
(anything for you)

i would do anything for you, even if it means disobeying you
(because true desire is not held back by simple words)
now you’re running away from me, hiding away from me, but why?
i will find you.
(anything for "you")

X. bluejays

now there are little bluejays outside the glass
their dreams, crushed by a gust of wind
twigs and feathers and blood fall to the grass
i have no poem to write for them.

XI. i wouldn't hurt a fly

flipping through my science textbook, skimming through labels
unable to unravel the table among the rabble of mosquitoes
but they’re not mosquitoes after all.

i’d say they’re just flies or gnats or bugs
definitely not those horrid bugs, indefinitely thrown under the rugs
no one likes mosquitoes.

but we can change that, you know? we can treat them well, those mosquitoes.
they’ll see how our kindness grows, but they’ll never really know
that no one likes mosquitoes.

should i discard my mosquito repellent then?
there’s no need, my friend. i learned in science class that mosquito repellent
actually makes mosquitoes unable to smell your scent
repel? no, it doesn’t.

now i wave my hands through the air and catch gnats under sunlight
it’s funny how they appear in my sight, then i kill them, mercifully, quite.
but i know that since they’re smaller than mosquitoes, they can’t really be considered
dead or alive, right?

XII. time flies in a jail cell

time flies in a jail cell
time flies into my jail cell
but it never flies back out
instead it sits here with me,
as we discuss the meaning of life
under the dim, flickering candlelight

rocks thrown at the sandy beach
rocks thrown away at the sandy beach
they’re forgotten forever
their cries are never heard
eventually, they break down into
billions of grains of sand

your secret lies with me
your secret’s a lie with me
now i’ll rest my head under my pillow
and dream about personified objects.
otherwise i’d think about you everyday
under the dim, flickering candlelight

they told me to never give up on my dreams.
