there are times
when i want to hold you down
and drown you in my sheets,
listen as the last lingering breaths of your life
fold into my throat, pocketed in my lungs
until i breathe back into you
all that you have given me:
life
i want to touch the sandy sun;
to hold the rays in both my fragile hands,
marvelling
as the blisters boil up from beneath,
baking my hands in the heat
until they are no more than
the ashes of ashes
and the crystal ocean absolves them
with a single pull.
sometimes,
i feel the burn of my hope
searing my bones.
it does not fully ignite me
it simply overheats me until i am pliable,
bent over before the bathroom sink
eating out of pill bottles and sucking back rainbow vomit.
how often i wish you would simply allow me to consume myself
instead of holding that single flame to my marrow,
mocking me
as i melt
oh
so

It Is Hope
Dollar signs swarm like wasps,
Threaten to sting from all directions.
They thicken, become the fog of depression,
The choking, crippling fog, threatening to solidify,
Become the dark abyss, the place knowledge fails
to picture out of pure terror.
But then, a spark.
Will it ignite?
What is it?
Employment? Success?
Happiness?
It is these things and more, yet it is not.
It is hope.

ABOUT LACHLANWOLVES
NAME: LachlanWolves
Lachlan- (LOCK-lin)
Coming from the Gaelic word for Scandinavia, Lochlann, its meanings includes "from the land of lakes."
LachlanWolves come from a very interesting background. Like most animals they once where socialized and lived in colonies. But when a large storm came over Leith it changed the world forever. Bringing ruin over the lands, the Lachlan wolves retreated to cover in secluded groups. Some resorted to wetlands, where they passed away and became one with the land they resorted to. Every LachlanWolf Is a ghost of their past selves. Many features tell stories from their past (past fights, scars, rotting flesh,

In the Syllable
...then there is a way in diswaiting.
Dust some yellow sand covers,
here uncover bare bedding.
...suffusing red planes, blushed dunes,
under incidentally quilted blanket
wet as arid curves, as sounds.
...in a persistent pavement,
in a solemn unsuited promise,
some written words erase
some letters drip and soak
unto a perfuse miracle,
a dislocated split,
a letting go of...
