Places We Must Never Visit

Impossible creatures,
monstrous
in nature,
call out
all over this world.

Sing out
a siren's lure
to the depths.

Sinister jaws
and strange,
churning bellies
await.

The Last Time

The radio croons
a love song
while we sit
in discomfort.

Until he switches
it off to a
tense silence.

This is the last time
we'll see each other.

But of course,
I don't know that
until much, much later.
