I am

burning

this is not unusual

for me, the radiator

but this isn't

I'm freezing it's cold outside

friends grab me for warmth because

I'm a human sun

sunny smiles 

sunny skin 

Today I lost a friend,

And I don’t know how it happened.

Last week she gave me a bracelet-

saying we’d always be friends.

Now she’s talking about me behind my back.

I ask this question to anyone and everyone.

Most people look at me like a have 453,786 heads,

Because who says, How’s life going?

Sometimes,

The people built the wall 

With their hands in their pockets 

Brick by brick 

Lifted over heads bowed low

Then they tore it down 

Hands bleeding 

And I wait for you

It's dangerous, exciting

I know who you are.

We have planted our seeds in soft soil

but then the droughts came

and the soil hardened

cracked

turned on our seeds

and what was once a garden is now a deathbed

shriveled up

seemingly hopeless
