i wonder

i wonder if that barren winter tree shivers in the wind

wishing on its last leaf for the revitalizing life of spring to come sooner.

i wonder if that isolated cloud feels the weight of the rain it carries

and if it ever wanted to be something more.

i wonder what the little clay frog sitting on my desk thinks of me

when it sees me bent over homework trying to forget about the big space of i don't know that lingers around my conciouness day in and day out.

i wonder what i will be thinking in a year and a few months time. i wonder, but i cannot know.

  • mid-afternoon thoughts

    periwinkle-blue light through my shuttered windows

    my heart is racing but my mind is blank with things I don't know how to express

    that k-drama I just watched stirred something in me

  • flash flood

    The rush of information from a single swipe

    Is a current that threatens to sweep me away

    Each new voice adding another issue to the many already bouncing around my head.

  • sister space

    The late nights usually surrendered to sleep

    Are instead spent rolled over on our sides

    Eyelids weak and the arms that hold up our heads weaker

    As we run rivers of words out of our mouths.
