  • The Bonfire

    Night fast approaching.

    Sitting in chairs looking on at the mound of wood.

    An elegant bird rising destined to fall.

    Then a light.

    Small yet growing fast.

    Then in a second the bird catches.

  • Separation

    It's always the goodbyes that are hardest

    especially when you've gotten so close

    after years of distance

    it's worst when you don't end up getting to spend the time you wanted to spend with them

  • Summer Smiles

    Summer always meant clear skies to me,

    With a never-ending supply of sunshine,

    And a night that would never arrive,

    Where time is paused mid-afternoon,

    And I'd bask under its rays lying on lush grass,

  • Outsider

    My neighbor is doing Duolingo across the street,

    He’s in his sixties learning a new language

    And I’m just eating leftovers, watching him,

    Wondering if he’s practicing French for his husband.
     

  • My Ankle Hurts

    My ankle hurts

    because I stepped funny

    at the very beginning

    of my very own bat mitzvah party.

    I might've twisted it

    I don't really know

    but I can't sit a certain way

    otherwise the pain returns
