the edge of the psychosphere

don’t be one of those people.
the ones who know
but don’t know they don’t.
the ones that talk to say
something very important
to them
because
they are saying it.
the ones that echo
nothing and defend
emptiness.
you’re always learning
but teach where you can
within the remit
of your knowledge.
ask questions.
about everything.
and know that
you will never get every answer.
just more questions.
what’s the point of religion
if it dulls your critical thinking?
why speak if you don’t
want a certain response?
when do you utter love?
there’s magic in your
words
that can turn to poison
if you don’t know
how to use them.
so think for yourself
and know when
to shout
and when
to stay
silent.

Under the Setting Sun

I see another sunset 
and it’s beautiful. 
Magnificent. 
There will be 
another one tomorrow
which I won’t see
probably. 
But I assume
it will be just as glorious. 

There’s a stain
on my shirt
and I can’t remember 
who put it there
but I think she
defiled
more than laundry 
under another
setting sun.

My hands are dusty 
from the balcony 
as the azure
meets vermilion
for it’s daily fuck 
and I don't even feel dirty.

The crepuscular shower 
invites the darkness 
as my phone blinks
another stain
on my view. 

I slide the door 
and close
the world 
to enter 
another 
and seize 
the night 
before aurora
promises more
than she can 
ever deliver
again.
