Emily K. Courtney Poems

“Why did she do it? ”
They all want to know
I have a shameful confession
I don’t really care
...

In the beginning Man created the poem
And it was good

In the end Man saw what he had done
...

For good or bad
All things work out
No matter what we do, don’t do
No matter if we do, don’t do
...

I am sorry
For chasing you
With such vigor
Intentionally trying to drench you with
...

I have never thought
How it would feel
To run a razor perpendicular to the vein
Cause only weak attention thirsty wanna-bees do it that way
...

Some make it real hard
To not care about them and
Some make it real easy
...

I wake with a jolt
From my world of zombies
And falling or things more sinister and seductive
To my existence
...
