just Michael

one day
all this
even this
will end
naked in the sun
free of connection
I will stand
alone
but with peace

the other lives
will drift away
until my horizon
is cleared of reflections
and then echoes
of empty thoughts
will crumble between
memories and dreams
they will dissipate
in this new silence
they will free me
until
I will be

just Michael

hearts and munitions

she had no heart
so I gave her mine
but donating an organ
whilst in love
is like holding onto a live grenade

after you've thrown

the pin
