oh, to watch the perfect sunset


oh, to watch the perfect sunset
across the sparkling lake
and have it be
every shade of life
every last one

oh, to lay back and watch the stars
on a clear night
and watch little holes appear
as the last shreads of the perfect sunset
disapear

oh, to close my eyes
and listen to the crickets
feel the cool sand on my neck
and be able to melt 
into the world it's self

  • 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
