Friday the 13th (For My Friend)

Friday
the thirteenth
is considered
unlucky
but honestly
it's the luckiest
so what
if it's Friday
it's the end of the school day
so what 
if it's the thirteenth
that's my lucky number
and when you merge them together?
you get one of my best friends birthdays
see?
not so bad.
amazing, actually,
Friday the thirteenth

  • 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
