Bitter Regrets
I've had the same dream
Again and again
Night after night
And I spend day after day
Thinking about what it means
I'm standing in front of that building -

white as snow-
cold as your eyes.
Ancient,
eroding,
creaking like a rocking chair,
or an old swing.

Just a House

It's my home.
This is where I learned, everything.

lost tales
The wind sings-
she gathers stories, whispering tales of people lost long ago.she tells them to me
but I forget as soon as she is gone. -
When I'd Go
They all say they'd visit dinosaurs
go back and dig for gold
meet their great-great-great grandparents
be around when electricity was discovered.
