CALIGINOUS

Some small towns have charm and some have teeth. If you find yourself walking alone at night, Coaltry might just swallow you whole.

“Beware the man with the hazy gray face”

Serpentine whispers
Salient dreams
He rips out your tongue
So they can’t hear you scream
He will haunt you
And wrap you
In his ice cold embrace
Beware of the man
With the hazy gray face

CALIGINOUS

It had been ten years since Cassie found herself walking alone down the uneven sidewalks of Fillmore, ten years since the world went dark and those icy tendrils coiled around her heart. It had been ten very long years since Cassie Porter died.

Cassie had been numb when she woke up but now the feelings were carving a jagged line through her heart like an old saw with rusted teeth. Even if she could manage to eventually stop the bleeding, that particular wound would never heal.

Every time she slipped away, even if it was just a sliver of time, it was another paper cut on and already fragile heart. There was a slight break in his voice when he finally answered.

“You’re home mom. It’s a beautiful day.”

Chloe smiled and kissed her so hard and so deep that Cassie nearly forgot all about the minefield of melancholy she’d been navigating all week.

“Evan! Stay with me here. I’m the one dying not you.” There was something both beautiful and soul crushing in her pencil thin smile.

Click, clack. Her heels drummed one last beat on the warm concrete and then fell silent, swallowed by the force behind the darkness. A pinprick of light shined like a final beacon as the girl pulled out her phone.

“It’s too late kid. There is no salvation, not in Coaltry.”

The girls always looked like some vague version of that girl and the street was always some dilapidated version of that street but the broad strokes of the nightmare never changed.

“A dog barks, the fireflies dance, and when the lights go out, the girl dies.”

Thick cords of nostalgia
Coiled around my neck
Until every dying gasp
Was another memory
Of

Breathing your name
Quells the fire burning
Deep within my heart
April 22, 2025 at 3:26 PM
Black birds fill
Black skies,
A murder most foul
Crows feast
On fallen bodies
Of the damned
While those
Cunning souls
Escape into
A darker oblivion

Time drifts
Sifts and shifts
Beyond the wish
As every precious tick
Slips from her grip

She dreamed of a place
Beyond the dancing leaves
And primal screams
Where all the words left unsaid
Floated in the breeze
And the setting sun
Brought hope of a better tomorrow

She is the poetry
I am the pen
Together we create
The sensual curves
Of thought and feeling

I want to read
Your body
Like braille
To discover
The story of
You’re desire
April 9, 2025 at 1:15 PM
One wish
One kiss
Tongue tracing
A trail from
Lips to lips
Her moan
My bliss
One wish
One kiss
Firm hands on
Grinding hips
As we submit to
Midnights grip

Drowning in melancholy
Drifting into the
Space beyond the hurt,
The heartache,
The emptiness of another
Lonely tomorrow
Hoping that the sunshine finds
The missing pieces
Broken, buried, and left behind

Her offering was
Soft and sweet
a  P E A C H
Meant
To be eaten
…And
He
      Was
               Starving

My heart may heal
But it will never again
Be whole

She wasn’t
Some delicate
Flower
Needing to be
Touched
Or
Admired
In order to bloom

She was a
A cactus
Surviving in
A harsh landscape
Get too close
And her pins
Will prick

She didn’t
Need your
Nurture
In order to be
Beautiful

Let me be
Your phoenix
Burning hot enough
And bright enough
Until we are both

Evan attacked his face with both hands trying to clear away his despair but nothing could stop that steady stream once the damn was broken.
