A gorillas existential crisis

sunday wordle

A great pain

Feb 11, 2018MattLeave a comment

Folded into crazy homes
Frozen behind windows
Staring out, eerie eyes
Hazy behind rasping gusts of breath
Before curtains close
To hide this poverty
Of mind

Sunday wordle on a Monday: Original

Jan 22, 2018Jan 22, 2018Matt2 Comments

You think you’re the last groove
in the vinyl
the last song
to fill the void
The one and only
the final original specimen
here to soothe the cracks
of those designed ‘none organically’
Like you and your one and only kind

Train coach

He’s taken refuge
in an abandoned train coach
Off the grid, against the grain
People keep telling me he used to be sane
But I figure he’s saner than me
fer takin’ himself outta the game

Staccato

Jan 7, 2018Jan 7, 2018Matt3 Comments

Attempt 1

Your heart beats
staccato
Like the
tick
tock
of your watch
Times sidekick
Look
Ing
Slick
On your wrist
Detached
From
All things
Patron saint
Of all spies
Slicker than water
While you’re in your prime

 

Attempt 2

Your heart
Beats
Staccato
Like the heels
That walk
On by
Leaving you
Denied

Sunday wordle: A night in the woods

Nov 19, 2017Matt1 Comment

Take the sting from my craw
Shimmy on down to the woods
With me
And we’ll pretend like
We’re on the moon
As we look at the stars tonight
Lets merge with the leaves on the trees
Tracing our way back
To the monkeys
Before we chop the wood
And light a fire
Becoming human
Again

Wordle: disbelief

Nov 12, 2017MattLeave a comment

It’s clear that fury
Is taunting your body
A test to see you learnt your lesson
But you still quiver at war
In disbelief

Wordle: Power struggle

Oct 8, 2017Oct 8, 2017MattLeave a comment

There is a power struggle
On the fringe of society
Listing mysteries
As if they belong to us
So we can be a star
In the battle storms
That swirl upon the roads
We’ve been discarded from
Trying to lift ourselves
Out from the pit of our sighs
So we can say that in the end
We won.

Wordle 319

Oct 1, 2017Matt2 Comments

Deliver the crime
Taking a shine
To his eyes
He can’t argue
Gasping for air
As the tilt of the world
Doesn’t care for fair
Hate written on fists
Waiting for the next on the hit list
To be fatally kissed

Sunday wordle: Nut

Aug 6, 2017Matt5 Comments

I’m the nut that simmered down
Because it’s the nuts
That burst through the surface
And sees that it doesn’t matter

Wordle: surrender

Jul 30, 2017MattLeave a comment

I surrender to the bend of the sail
Whichever way the wind takes me
I shall follow
Stitch these wounds
And let go
