It’s gray out But the warm sun blasts through the ceiling of clouds Filling my body with Essential heat Vitamins And a means to alchemically produce Happiness In material form But we long for the dark So that we can peer down empty streets with Lightless eyes And claim that we see the world forContinue reading “Still Warm”

Creator Journals 5/31/25
I came up with some pretty essential backstory today. I don’t know if I have it in me to write much more. Most days writing and storytelling are my passion.

WD 210 “Weird Sisters”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Weird Sister You can’t take my eyes from me Across the lines Blurring together into fathomless fog I want to guide myself by sense of touch By taste of tongue By ripples of motion in the bleakness There comes a time when all must trade theirContinue reading “WD 210 “Weird Sisters””
WD 203 “Shadow Kid”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Shadow Kid Blink and you’ll miss me An afterimage on a polaroid camera You see the fearful wince between a smile and a smirk Optical illusion between two equidistant lines It cuts a figure in the green negative space where you looked Too close to theContinue reading “WD 203 “Shadow Kid””
197 “Chiron Alarm”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.

WD 113 “Darkness”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Darkness Astronaut The dark of the extra-terrestrial oil spill hypnotized you Like the glistening black of the cobra king Don’t look him in the eyes unless you have the intrinsic power to overcome The thanatos drive No one asked you to be Beyond good and evilContinue reading “WD 113 “Darkness””
WD 100 “Fear of Gods”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Fear of Gods There is only Darkness, where I am In a coffin I rest and I Wait For the flow of time to clot and curdle like Agony in the face of those who seek progress, redemption Blessed forgetfulness but I am a ballerina walkingContinue reading “WD 100 “Fear of Gods””
WD 50 “Let There Be-“
A poem inspired by the Muse of Cold Earth. Let There Be- I’ve seen God hover over The surface of the water, but I never saw him walk on it.
