Rainbow

the tips of the rainbow
touch the ground
the most colorful place
on earth
it is where
our used-to-be 
grey earth
is touching
a rainbow
the paintbrush
that paints the blank canvas
of earth
it adds color
gives the sky it's blue
gives the flowers their hues
and gives nature 
her beautiful green
it paints away
the grey canvas days
in a beautiful world
of color

  • 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
