Pluvia

Time seems to move slower when it rains

Cars hesitate before they turn 

Bird wings lag as raindrops batter their feathers

The world seems small and heavy

Murky puddles are dumbbells on Earth's surface

Green leaves sag under the weight of pelting beads

Looming storm clouds shrink my small town

It’s tiresome to merely stare out the window 

And watch the awkward jog of raincoats 

Dodge each other on the sidewalk

  • My First Loves

    My first car has absorbed the beauty of your soul

    The wholeness of your heart

    Your voice rushes through the air vents and echoes through the quiet space

    It blows the flyaways of my hair

  • First Aid

    I want to collapse into his arms and let his warm embrace surround my cold fragile body. 

    I want his kind and reassuring words to stick like bandages to the broken parts of my brain.
