Moss
I needed you to say my name
When you did, I needed it again
You pledged yourself to me
You said my name full with devoution
Like a prayer
Should you have believed another gospel thereafter
You may of burst to flame
Your skin was soil
My lips were sporiferous
Across your neck
Planted a surplus of seeds
Deep beneath the epidermis
I'd water you by demanding that the rain would fall
I'd persuade father time to make you thrive
Nurtured you like an idea
Soon, moss would spread
Across your neck, across your skin
When you looked to the mirror
You saw not as you were
But as I saw you
Full of bias, full of love
Loving yourself, nearly as much as I
Each day I'd tend to the moss
Touching my lips to yours
To your fingertips, to your nerves
Humming as I do so
Soon, as all things do
You would come to rot
I carried you to the garden
A garden we had made together
I laid you to the ground
In a spot I had made for you
Maggots crawled over you
Feasting as they went
But soon, you and the moss were one at last
I continued to tend to our garden
With each passing day
Pulling weeds, commanding rain
Humming as I went
Soon, my bones would grow to wither
From the garden, I'd hear you call
I laid into you
Death gave us two union
As I laid in your arms
Now, the garden still stands
Overgrown with moss
Centipedes, snails, isopods, all thrive.
Children avoid our old home with fear
For they claim to see two ghosts dancing in the window
But in the garden
They may hear, if they listen close
The sound of green moss humming

Me when my friends


It makes me happy when they listen
In light of recent events in America, such as Theodore Rosevelt's stolen pocket watch being returned to the museum, Trump nearly being shot, and an Alaskan man saving a baby moose from a lake, remember you miss 100% of the shots you don't take! Shoot for the stars!
Octopuses can fit through any gap larger than their beak.

Johny Cash (the old American cowboy songwriter from 1950-1970, "The Man in Black") was once asked why he always wore his signature western attire in black, in which he responded:
"I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, but is there because he's a victim of the times."
That being said, he is now my second favorite cowboy ever.
