prose

In/Out
he married the right girl at the right time, but life went on without their dreams

Lullaby
a folly to dream of him, a life lived in his making; an orphan wishes for love and learns a lesson as harsh

Crumble
Have you ever seen defeat in progress?

Visceral
cutting the dead weight of life

In Bloom
secrets and lies

Alive
she's in there somewhere, underneath it all

What You Meant to Be
a blast from the past
