To The Girl Orpheus Knew He Would die For

To the girl Orpheus knew he would die for,

This one

Is for

You

And only for

You.


Fuck everyone else

Fuck Hades and hell

Fuck the Gods

And fuck patience

I can’t wait for you much longer

But I will love you forever


Meet in me in Idaho after I’ve paid for all the debts I owe

And know that I love you longer than the great wall of China (x17)

I’d drive through the night for you. I’d call your mom. And I will love you in all of your forms. 

When we get fat and old, I bet I’ll love you even more 


When I get too high, and die, I’ll hop over heaven’s gate, and skydive back down to you

Fuck what they’ll think

Fuck what they’ll do

It doesn’t matter, babe

Not as long as I am with you


If you end up in hell, I’ll find you

And bring you back to earth

So you can live out the rest of our days with me 

Out in the country

On our flower and twinkie farm 

If any viper tries to do you harm

I’ll send them down the river Styx

And if Hades needs a song

I’ll give him a poem he’ll never forget 


I’m no Orpheus 

But I’ll do what he did

Because you are the lady

That I know

I would

Die 

For 



Home is you

That’s all I know to be true

My home is you 


To the girl I know I would die for,

This one

Is for

You.


-CH 8/27/25

The mountain moved! I swear the mountain across the river moved! You see, I asked for it to. It was blocking my view of the sunset. So I closed my eyes, and in my mind, I kindly asked the mountain to

 
 
 
Behind Her Eyelids

A nightmare fluttered behind her eyelids. She was naked and her ankle was chained to an anchor. The current raged against her. She swam and swam and swam going nowhere. The sea was cold; the sky was
