life is like lucky charms

life is like lucky charms
everyone gets their bowls
with the cereal, and the marshmellows

the cerel is like average life
unless, of course,
you make them to be more

the marshmellows are like the good times
so good,
but so short

some people save the marshmellows
some people eat them all
and then reach into others bowls

some people open the box again
hoping, reaching,
for more

  • 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
