Endless

Card

after card

after card

it keeps going

the stack endless

the family tree sprawling

stretching

growing

by the second.

I have to write it all down

I can't even remember who wanted to read my speech

but it's a mess

and someone just rang the doorbell.

Sigh.

    this is my routine;

    come home from school

    open to this the first chance I get

    write.

  • Questions

    I'm

    confused

    did I do it

    what happened?

    You were melancholy earlier

    what is going on

    what did I miss

    was it me?

     

    You talk in subtle hints

    but what are you hinting at?

  • Beauty

    The world is muted

    muffled

    as the snow sprinkles your hair

    lice,

    you remember a friend calling it once in 5th grade

    you got mad at him for that.
