Climbing the Clouds

if i could
i would break the record
of climbing on clouds
i would hike up
the feathery mountains
tickling my bare feet
it would grow colder
but i would climb on
i would leave the world
of rain
and reach
Above
i would be astonished
by the world of Above
and i would just sit
on the soft clouds
and let them envelope me
in their warmth
I would watch
the clear sky
and let the sun seep over me
I would smile
at the forever clear sky
and know
that I have broken a record

  • 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
