“Life Sucks” doesn't suck.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

- Hilarious, #satirical, and deeply human - like Monty Python with a colonoscopy.

- A must-read for anyone just in need of a damn good #laugh.

- Darkly #funny, brutally honest, and weirdly comforting.

Life Sucks is snort out loud funny. Nothing is sacred.

you often speak
of comfort in thread counts

that feeling of sheets
soft as a rose petal
holding your body close...
such deluxe luxury

if that is so,
then your love
contains the tightest weave

pure Egyptian cotton -
soothing me, softer than a dream.

i want to call you,
but pride lodges
like a song stuck in my throat;

regret, a skipping record,
full of static and unease.

and yet,
with everything lost,
love lurks in the quiet -

a stubborn undertone
neither of us
can ever fully unlearn.

love’s river runs swift
full of anger and need
when your tears drown us

the water is swarming
with piranha again
all teeth, blood, and loss

leaving me torn to pieces
adrift, unable to mend

the forecast calls for
a partly cloudy day
with a chance of rain

i smile
watching your eyes
gather azure skies
deep in thought,
your coffee growing cold

no need
for a raincoat today
only the quiet
of its possibility.

i loved to watch you paint,
your eyes somewhere else -
lost in a soft moments' passion.

a pastel sky
came alive beneath your hand,
filled with the verve of birds in flight,

searching for the perfect color
we could never quite find.

i found you
skipping stones at dawn

your laughter tangled
in the cattails

you promised nothing
but trouble

your libertine heart
would never be contained

i just smiled
watching ripples ebb and fade

i found Javier
crying on the stoop,
his father
was taken by ICE today.

the bruises on his cheek:
proof of resistance

his mother’s sobs
from their apartment upstairs:
proof of love

ash drifted down the block
from the bonfire
of green cards
burning in the park.

we’ve worn out every argument,
let logic run to rust

yet between what we meant,
the heat of what we said,

there is the hope
that love survives each clash,
forgives each cruelty -

that our blades stay sheathed,
all our truces
hold for today.

i grow by the brook
it sings to me
but has forgotten my name

time has forgotten
me
us
you

and there is a thirst
no song can slake

the sun warms me
i associate that with love
or its memory

when there was
you.

bluebells ring faint
‘long the forest's edge
adrift in pollen & ache

you are present
in an oleander breeze
laughing at how we cannot
cast shadows

i advert to a blackbird’s song
she beckons me
to the evergloom
'neath the birches

where my shadow
withdrew, long ago
