already dead
bird-shadow darkens
the worm
Ryan Stone

too much coffee, too little sleep, a love of words…
already dead
bird-shadow darkens
the worm
Ryan Stone

faded doll,
old memories
shelved
Ryan Stone

displaced
by myriad fault lines
we fracture
Ryan Stone

midnight wind,
howling through the caverns
of my mind
Ryan Stone

beyond the gate
where sea meets sky
—tomorrow
Ryan Stone

after the storm
while staring at puddles—
a rainbow
Ryan Stone

fractured sunlight
creeping through my shutters
new year outside
Ryan Stone

louder and louder
the smell of Nanna’s kitchen
Ryan Stone

so crisp
the autumn sun,
then winter
Ryan Stone

at the hot springs
below the line of thought
I find you, old friend
Ryan Stone
