doors

i get tired at school

sometimes.

it's not like i am not interested

it's just when there is yelling

and fights

and darkness in your house

you don't sleep very well

especially when the ghosts

crouching behind your door

jump out

they are hard to avoid

since there are so many

there are lots of rooms in my house

thus many doors

so now i always keep the lights on 

and sleep with the door open 

it's better than opening it in the morning

and have something waiting

i'll just let it take me in sleep.

  • Snow & Sticks

    For a businesswoman, she is very kind. She is the winter giving her hand to autumn as they trade places. Autumn stands back and watches Winter do her work, covering Autumn's leaves and grass until everything is white, white, white.

  • paper

    i've always loved the smell of paper

    and i get to decide where everything gets to go.

    when i hear a sound

    i'd rather see what it is 

    than cower and wonder 

    what it could be.

  • the tortoise and the hare

    for a tortoise, i think i beat the hare. he ran from everything yet always won. whether it was to give up friends or to just be right. now i pass him as he naps on the side of the road. i need a nap too, though.
