    YOU

    I watched you talk to her
    waiting for the bus, analyzing your face
    your freckles, dimples, perfect smile,
    you.
    I've been obsessed for a month now,
    my heart launching into overdrive when I see you walk by.

    once it was may...now it is not

    Once it was May,
    and flowers bloomed in sidewalk cracks,
    robins flitted through the not-quite-summer air and
    I lay in bed with the windows open and wrote poems as light as butterfly wings.

    or at least good, at least peaceful
    without war, without hate

    It begins —

    This thing call Spring —

    With sunshine and birdsong

    Slowly infused into everything.

    It begins with

    Deep brown rivers gauged in viscous dirt roads,

    As the frozen ground thaws and overflows.

  • Morning, But Not Really

    it’s 2am and i’m still lying awake 

    with thoughts in one hand and feelings in the other. 

    how can i go to sleep with a head full of stars 

    and my face running away 

    up into the sky

    Nothing anymore

    For years when I would look at your face, I saw my future, my life, my whole world in your eyes, but today I for once just saw your face. The same lips that I had once longed to kiss, the same eyes that I would get lost in, yet I felt nothing.
