strophes. a collection. 1.

how come
it's when we're at our darkest
of dark
that we see the light

why is life?
why is lust?
why is love?

drugs.
destroy.
dehumanize.
decapitate.

may we all bear the fruits
of what life has to offer
without allowing ourselves
to fall into such a deep hole
that we cannot scratch
crawl
run
out of.
