Sawyer Fell

if life is but a dream for the dead

may you visit us during autumn, the eldest of the seasons

letting your fragile bones be exposed to the crisp air of october

letting your fingertips run over the bars of the cemetery gates

Star in the sky

My star in the sky

You do not exist anymore except in my heart

You were once a seed in my womb

Growing growing gone

My star in the sky or are you the moon or a planet far far away

Dear Mom,

I forgot to buy you something again. I guess I couldn't find anything that expressed my gratitude enough, so I've decided to write you something until I have time to buy you that wine you like. 

Religion is girlhood

God is a teenage girl screaming the names of the people she used to love at the sky

Worship is dancing and celebrating while still being upset

     Sarah made grunting noises as we passed the deli, I asked her why, yet she didn't answer me. It’s almost as if we’re tense every time we walk downtown. 

I’m warning you

When I fall in love

Every moment

Is made into poetry
