“The game is not about becoming somebody, it’s about becoming nobody.”

Random bow and arrow attack

Emmanuel Phakathi Mar 2020

Random bow and arrow attack

Stuck
it *****.
I succum.
End
so sordid.
I glance. I am gliding away.
The only soul in this dark alley.
I am suffering
it was a random
bow and arrow
attack.

red kind of blue love

Emmanuel Phakathi Jan 2020

red kind of blue love

better this
way
than any other
way
ready for love
again

lovers lost
love renewed

bitter
this way
than any other way.
battered I left

new love
red love
love for failed climbers.
