Ruby by Daniel Ortiz

We drank and fucked the nights
away, and shared a million thoughts
before the break of many
dawns.
What you were will never be again.
Tonight I drink alone to the sound of
mind becoming soul.
Like an apple thrown into the sea.

Daniel Ortiz was born, he has lived, and eventually he will die. He writes poetry upon scraps of paper and exists upon scraps of life. He spends most days looking for a way out. His words and art have been featured on horrorsleazetrash.com and in bathroom stalls across America.
