After The Party

after the party
everyone is
drained
and weary
the ground is littered
with remnants
of forgotten exitment
the moon hangs low
over the smoke-filled sky
and the only light
comes from headlights
of the leaving cars
the floor is stained
from a popped soda can
and will be there 
for a long time
there is the loud sound
of the door slamming
a reminder
that the party is over
and the exhiliration
is gone

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
