Heat

I am

burning

this is not unusual

for me, the radiator

but this isn't

I'm freezing it's cold outside

friends grab me for warmth because

I'm a human sun

sunny smiles 

sunny skin 

sunny warmth

this time it's

I don't feel so good

sinking feeling

sick

probably just from the shot

but I still

hate it

I'm freezing and my skin is burning

and I'm shaking

my room is a sauna I'm

covered in blankets

I feel

weak

radiation

is a disease

    Air

     

    circulates

     

    around

     

    us

     

    breathing together

    =

    starting together

    playing the same scale altogether

    with people you don't know

  • Tunnel

    We went on a hike 

    because I was music-ed out

    walking in the cold all bundled up

    jackets, borrowed gloves

    sneakers

    crunching through the icy wet

    snow-steeped landscape

  • Festival

    Long day

    past where morning sun shines and into the dark huskiness of night

    fluorescent lights beating down 

    then flickering off

    a fanfare

    a reflection

    a redemption
