One day I saw a bird

Who fell out of its tree

Its mother didn’t notice

And its siblings let her be

I picked the fallen bird up

Rested it on its side

I noticed its broken wing

And knew it wanted to die

But I ignored that gleam

I put it between some bushes

I made it a home; a cap of water in it

And I only hoped nothing would push it

I returned the next hour

With my father in tow

But the bird was ...

Its hard to choose

For all deserve a chance

I hate the way this works

I kill babies for gods sakes

children who haven’t loved yet

people who haven’t made their mark

Can I quit yet

Can i switch with cupid

Make people love and not remorse

When can I be done

I dont want to kill another one

Please dont make me

I press the button

all the time

sleepless nights

Its someone elses turn

I am ready to...

Why do I place my life in your incapable hands?

Giving you all my power and life force energy,

handing over my divine power and sacred sanctum,

Like I have no control of myself,

I hand myself over to you giving you control over me,

My mind, my heart, my soul, my body

when all you do is disappear like sand,

When you do, I fail to harness and retrieve my own being,

Often lost in displacing my own s...

A curse.

A curse that started with a promise

a promise of immortality.

Immortality, but at a cost

A high cost

I was young

young and naive

so naive i didn’t think twice

and now thinking twice is five times too few

i have eternal life

but with life comes death

and since i cannot die

it is i

i who decides

decides who is to die

every day i must choose

must choose a soul

a soul to snuff out

every da...

My job is death

I do it well

I choose who dies

And who survives

It’s not just me

There are others

I pick one

And so do they

We work together

Yet we are alone

I pick the evil

Others pick the good

One per day

Each of use choose

It’s hard sometimes

I’m full of guilt

They where bad

But had some good

And loved ones to

So am I just...

It’s been only twenty-three days since Stork quit his job, and there had already been 245 stillbirths and 31 sudden infant death syndromes.

Of course such a thing wouldn’t go unnoticed, but no matter how much everyone desperately sought his whereabouts, no one thought to check a zoo. Specifically a koala exhibit, where he and Grim Reaper just arrived at.

Stork gasped so deeply it sounded like he...

Elle always had long beautiful brown hair. Her boyfriend, Olive, always adored it. It perfectly framed her freckle filled face and was always soft as silk.

For years Elle's mother would brush, braid, and play with her hair. It was a nice change from her fathers smoky scent of cigarettes and the constant fighting. After her parents divorced her mother let go. She wasn't around family as often, an...

On Sunday,

I walked into your grandmother’s room

And sat with her while no one else bothered,

Listening to the rise and fall of her breathing machine.

She took my hand

And told me her husband has been gone for thirty years

But he’s standing in the doorway now

And she’s ready to go dance with him in Heaven’s golden ballroom.

On Monday,

I slipped into the baby’s crib

And hushed his cries with the ...

Mary goes on Sunday, Mari on fri,

My heart aches as my memory begins to fade.

Jonah next week, during his latest feat,

Jumping off a cliff,

yet he didn’t know that Terius would cut the lift,

before diving down after,

Crying out as he fell faster.

Save me from this mess, I once was so innocent,

Yet a few centuries anywhere, can make you wish for fresh air,

Going stir crazy within my head...

You’ve flirted with me all your life

but I’ve never let you go

all the way. A kiss here

a kiss there, remember that night

you were going ninety, driving

all night to get to me. You swerved

and swore and your breath

was visible and filled the car. Your lips

brush against mine

I cradle your face in my hands. I’m death

but you kill me....
