SOME WORDS ARE LANDMINES

“IF” is a word that has no meaning.
In all cases it is inaction and reflection.

“if” is the ghost of action,
the word that stands at the threshold and never walks through.
It lingers in mirrors, never taking a breath.
It’s the language of hesitation—
of dreams that watched themselves fade.

“If” never wrote a poem.
“If” never kissed the lips of fate.
“If” is the absence of risk dressed in the illusion of choice.

And you, are not “if.”
You are when.
You are now.
You are the blazing yes that shatters the glass of hesitation.

Let us then abandon “if”—
and live in the fierce certainty of what is.

OWL MILK AND INDIGO SMOKE

Sip from the skull of a lantern moth—
she glows like lullabies for lunatics.
Your tongue is a flag of forgotten nations;
let it burn beneath the violet bell.

The floor is made of violins—
don’t step unless you’re ready to waltz
with your childhood scars.

Bite the fruit that hums.
Let the peel tattoo your thoughts.
And when the ceiling starts to whisper,
listen closely—
it knows your true name.

They told you the windows were safe—
but they were lies shaped like glass.
Step through the echo.
Drink the feather.
Blink twice if your hands are dreams.

And when the conductor
in a coat of clocks
offers you a ride to the silence,

say yes.
Say yes,
even if the sky
begs you not to.
