Sickly sweet midnight thoughts


You're more real in each photo
each video
maybe you're gone in those too
but we can't tell
a sunshine smile
tells only what it wants to
each reminder of your absence 
is sickly sweet
I want them to stop
or go on forever
with each whimper 
I feel you leap farther into the sky
silence feels empty even though it has always
been that way
one of my strings has snapped
you took it from me
becasue you felt it was the only way
It wasn't 
And now you're gone
I want you back

  • Waiting for Winter


    I wait for winter
    in her heavy white boots
    and sharp sparkling nails
    her 5th avenue white fur coat
    and flushed pink cheeks
    she wears black tights
    taught over thin, toned legs
    summer and autumn
    watch her in envy
  • roots

    My deep tangled roots
    Twisted into knots
    Running cross country
    Are dragging towards the ocean
    Yearning for the sun dripping down
    Over wet seals bodies
    In warm embrace
    I want nothing to do
    With this life
    Today,
  • Sunday

    The rain has found its way
    Onto our mountain
    Drenching each new bud
    Reaching for life 
    In the foggy air
    Smothering their joyous cries
    As mud seems to engulf us
    One 
    By one
