everyone belongs

no one here
is alone
everyone is under
a roof
and is home
in a place
of love and family
they need not worry
when the storm comes
and thrashes at the windows
and tugs at the foundation
of home
they need not worry
for the only thing they will lose
are the whispers that lined the halls
remindiers of exitment
and moments you had
you can start anew
and build up a world
and create memories
in new rooms
in a new home
you need not worry
you will always have shelter
a sanctuary
a place to go
if this was real
and not just
a good dream.

  • 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
