Two songbirdsSinging their lovely tune
Melodies intertwining
Creating a magnificent symphony
But one’s voice is deteriorating

On a sea of wind
Rushing the excruciating moments
Letting the blissful moments linger

The excruciating silence
Of closure
The pain that only comes

And swim in the pond all day
Smiling and using kayaks
I miss the nights

I hang candy necklaces from the tips of my fingers

on the side of your nose
or the tip of your chin

I live in the land of the free. I am free
in most ways.
I can be a black belt.
I can be a published poet.

A Currency We Haven’t Learned to Spend
I wake up in a world that’s always moving,
a second away from breaking.
I scroll through the noise,and I wonder what happens when the screen goes dark.
