Still Waiting
July 5, 2016
I took your hand the day I met you
You have been blinded since day one
I guided you through the lowest points in hell
There were so much blood sweat and tears from me
You thought we were in heaven, there was no struggle from you
So blind to the point to not see my effort and struggle
So self-absorbed to only realize the success I've given you
"Karma", "Karma", "Wait for Karma," they say
I've waited years and none of it comes my way
I deserve better, and I know that
I'll leave eventually
But I'm still waiting for Karma
July 5, 2018
I left.
I've never been better
(Reader) Next day...

Midnight
60 seconds… 59 seconds… Time was slipping through his fingers, though he clawed at the falling grains of sand, he could not stop the hourglass from flowing. Around him, the silence was deafening. He had taken over every screen in the command centre, putting the terrible seconds before the terrified eyes of his friends and comrades.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
