Crack Caffeine
JCD Kerwin
the coffee here
should be called
“water with flavoring.”
but
i guess i don’t care;
addicts will often
buy shitty product.

I have to stop feeling guilty for writing…even when the product turns out like shit.
Miss You ForthisEver
JCD Kerwin
Tell me when it’s over,
when all the parties end
and no one’s left around.
Lift the mask
so I can see
the way
the moon reflects your soul.
I’ve been sleeping,
dream-walking,
at warp-speed for
as long as I can remember.
I wish stars did shine
like diamonds.
Tell me when it’s over;
just tell me when I’ve got
your lightning
in my arms.

What would it be like
to float,
effortlessly,
above their heads;
smooth and pristine,
like a transparent, little bubble?
Up and up,
far and away;
without a care…
Then POP!
I am gone.

I will build my house
without a roof
so that the moon
will fill the rooms
in luminescent blue—
the kind of color
I remember
once-upon-a-time
in the dark with you.

Side-note: “Once-upon-a-time” is a stupid phrase I use far too much.

I close my eyes
and find you there,
just as before,
on the mountain,
like I remember us:
hand-in-hand,
paying our respects, and
watching the petals
melt into rain puddles and
floating away,
just like our love.
