Threshold

Tufts of rusted coils fortified by the lacquer of

 one dollar hair gel stolen from the aisles.

The contours of its shape pregnant with defiance,

groaning with the murmurs of the wind.

My words stiled and stalled

bent before the lip of tomorrow. 

Waiting to remember exactly 

What it is i am supposed to be doing.

    Our bus is stuck in traffic
    and I’m late for lunch with my grandpa
    because his silence makes me feel a little bit less lonely
    in a world where it's easier to forget 
    the deaths of old friends, the day’s list of tragedies.
