Gray Days

alas, 
those voices heard
may be our own
but like the sun rises
and sets
they might be
left
and forgotten
while the moon
glows in the sky
on a cool summer night
it is not quite enough light
for us all
to see through
the darkness
and even though
the clouds cover
the bluest of skies
the sun will always
try
and peek through
to give us light
to see  us through
all those gray days

  • 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
