Upside Down

Things are different.

I don't know when they changed

or when I noticed them changing.

But in any case,

my eyes are open now

and I see that things are upside down.

At first it was just a drop

here and there.

An odd interaction

or a surprising text.

But now

it is steadily raining-

a consistent and strong pitter-patter

above my head. 

And now,

my head is tilted back

my eyes closed

enjoying the storm

and waiting for the downpour.

  • A Moment

    there is nothing

    as pure as

    sitting

    in near-darkness

    soft fabric beneath you

    and a fire dying by your side

    feeling fat drops of salt water

    course down your face

  • Bouquets

    Flowers of songs are arranged in bouquets in my brain.

    Not by genre 

    or artist

    But by which dance from my life they transport me back to.

  • We Yearn For Spring

    Poetry is hard in the winter.

    It is inexplicable but,

    for me,

    definitely true.

    In the spring, summer, and fall, 

    there are limitless possibilities, 

    endless inspirations.
