Crusty Child

Crusty child, 
rub your dry eyes, 
flap your birdlike limbs, 
stare with an open mouth. 

Are you hungry? 
Are you sad? 
Are you tired of being a crusty child?

  • Dawn to Dusk

    Light is lobbed to the leaves and they cradle it 

    In the evening they throw it back to the sun 

    whose tendrils collect it 

    then go home 

  • Peace

    I think peace looks like:  

    driving on the highway from College Park  

    listening to “White Ferrari”
