remember the earth worms:
do you remember
the day you missed
in 3rd grade
when we all learned how to fall
in love
with the clovers
that sprouted between
blades of grass
how we spent nights -
I'm so tired, tomorrow though.
there is gaps
between my breaths
that take up
more time
than they should
more gone than
there
i have a new callus
on the crease of my
index finger -
how to survive modern warfare:
it is too early
for feelings of
violence
be quick to forgive
quicker to turn a blind eye
i woke up one day
to mens eyes
that met in between my shoulders -
All the missing spaces in between:
I fell in love with a boy
in a magazine.
I cut out his face
and plastered it onto
the back of a canvas,
not bothering to find his name
in the article.
It is nights like these -
if you only had 24 hours:
you're taller now
i knew this
before
but six foot three
sounds a lot smaller
than it looks
especially when its standing
in front of you
we pretend -
It's really human of you:
16 candles
close your eyes
make a wish
bury it under the driveway for no one to find
breathe in the sky
and out
a naive hope
that birthday candles will secure
