Night

The water in sinks drips. 

Drip.

Drip. 

Drip. 

"Load the fire! We don't want to be cold."

Kiss the dogs.
"Night night."

"Goodnight, Mama.
Goodnight, Dad."

The water in sinks drips. 
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.

Night is upon us.

  • I Notice

    They don't think I notice

    They don't think I notice how stingy we're becoming:

    They don't think I notice the reluctance to use the propane heat.

    They don't think I notice how cold it is when I crawl out of bed every morning.

  • Letter to the World

    Dear World, 

    I am teenager. I am on the cusp of life, a time when my entire life is ahead of me yet I am beginning to feel as if some parts of it are behind me.
