Ugly, Lovely

Ugly

A forlorn identity
for self-defense.
Tightness in the chest,
dimensionless work.
Sleep deprivation at dawn.

Fearing silence,
fearing books,
fearing art.


Lovely

No total darkness,
no purity of light
just a large dusty house of faceted
laughter - even forests given room,
and in the morning there is not perfection.
