my magic claimed me

i always wanted

to be a princess,

but deep in my bones

my magic already

claimed me: witch.

derelict home

mold marches up the walls

the green fly

hesitates between his plate

and mine

other storms 

they say when it rains,

it pours;

which wouldn't be so bad

if my roof weren't already

leaking with other storms.

won't drink poison

i'm not everyone's

cup of tea,

and that's okay;

i won't drink poison

just to have

company.

~linda m. crate

vines curl around a dead tree

codependent love

~Steve Van Allen

waste of time

maybe if you had

loved me back,

it would've been worth

everything i lost;

but you didn't and it wasn't

and i am angry for the time

i cannot have back.

advertising hoarding pointless objects

~John Hawkhead

roadside attractions

much ado about nothing
