check, mate

do not worry

about success

the queen and king

enter the same box

as the pawn

play the game

that will leave the board

drawn with your

presence

win or loss

*

hey universe

mind missing me

with your bullshit today

because i am you at your worst

your unbearable

a need to break up

to explode

to bang away at nothingness

until it forms too much of me

a force

who will spread into the dark

if i must

picking you apart

making it mine

making it whole

again

uncovering the spots

left forgotten by creation

though

i do

i destroy

i delight

*

be brave

enough to

admit you are afraid

but

braver still

in being more

than the admittance

of enough
