Music

for some odd reason
i find music
hidden
in the zip zop
of snow pants
 
in the rocking chair
creaking back
and forth
in the wind

in each step taken
as your shoes hit
the hard pavement
with a little thud

in the sound
of the blinker
as your car prepares
to make a turn

music is everywhere
if you just know how
to look in the right places

  • 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
