you already know summer
you've felt
the brambles and sweat,
the curl of berry-stained lips.
you've seen
the cornflower sky stolen
by a red-orange river,
the evening still thick
with lightning bugs and laughter.

Those who come next

should cherish the time they get
for the minutes move faster

Duet
Scared
Nervous
Terrified.
We step
One
At
A
Time
Onto
The stage.
Chairs.
Stands.
Folders.
Music.
Piano music,
Starting.
And we enter.

Adjustments
I always wanted to be a better player but
I didn't really understand
How.
Two years of
Sort of almost having to
Lead
Being the only one who
Really cared enough
To do my best.

infinitely halfway
I want to grow up but I don’t.
but I do

But lucky for me I don’t have to make that decision.
I’m forced to grow up whether I like it or not.

Her Hope
She’s little
Not even 8
But she has hope
Hope that shines
Through her blue eyes
Hope that dances
Across her face
Just like how she
Dances in the rain
Listening to Taylor Swift
