Welcome, my dear, to Insomnia Cafe.
Straight-jackets and violins can be found to your left-
Yes, yes, we're coming to that. Now where was I? Ah yes-
Coffee is served over here, laced with arsenic, just how you like it.
Yes, I know how you take your coffee, my dear. Do come along.
To your right is our jukebox lullabies and those voices.
The voices? Oh, they're the whispers you hear at night,
the pulse and scratch.
It's only your imagination, though, yes?
Come, come, my dear; there is much to see.
Ah, you're shivering. Here, over here.
The fire is liable to spreading but the hearth is rather cozy.
Oh, no, don't fret, my dear;
It simply follows the trail of gasoline.
Onward! My dear, don't stare at him. He doesn't like it.
Help yourself to violets and cough sweets.
The street-cats always buy too many, anyway.
And now we have arrived at the main attraction!
I told you we were coming to it.
Now, my love, open wide. No, not you, my dear. You just try to keep still...

Entertaining Ghosts
So little when she first encountered Poe
and learned to stuff herself with shrieking woe.
A timid child, she courted terror’s thrill;
she'd read by day, then suffer frightened chill
as nightmares clawed her down into the deep.
She’d cry out in the dark, though half asleep,
but with the dawn she’d close a haunted door,
then turn the page she’d marked to suffer more.
Eventually, I wished my childhood years
had left me less in fear of certain mirrors
that call up ghosts of those who’ve gone before.
They haunt us with the voices that implore
us hold our gaze and meet the captive wraith
who so desires to swell unwil

A Lover of Sorts
A wandering ace roamed far and wide
Hoping to catch some education in stride,
But Western Wedding University, dead set,
Asked her, “Have you found a lover yet?”
She said, “I am looking for one, of course,
But they must only be a lover of sorts.”
“Of sorts?” McVay curiously replied.
The ace only smiled, heart filling with pride,
For he knew not everyone could understand
That all he ever wanted was to hold someone’s hand
And cuddle at sunset on a cold winter’s night
While drinking hot cocoa by the campfire light.
A kiss or two but nothing more,
Anything else he would abhor.
A lover of sorts woul
Literature
offerings from the day
a gift: despair & sunlight
loving me wrong
climax compels a risk
be it love, an ache,
teeth transforming,
the extinct alone
the isle path hatches into
toying labyrinth into
electric current into
hedgerow growing roses
finally still
I am wrong (a gift)
repentance tastes like shame to the tangled
a little magic outspread
cry doubt on a disgusting moon
my body holds a tempest
my mouth holds a century
