You make me feel.
You take everything that could be real
Steal it away
Make it unworthy

Feelings.
I’m under your sway.
Your spell. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #61 – LOVE”

“Garbage”
Sizzling asphalt
stales the stench over the street;
sweet midsummer days.

Not merely a yard,
a secluded wilderness
