Sunlight

i can't even look
at the pale white curtains
without my eyes
getting burned

the sunlight
through the curtain
is still
blinding
but i can't look away

it gives off a feeling
if you stare at it
for a while

that feeling
that you
are staring
at

silk
made for the dresses
that angels wear

a golden sheet
of pure light
that can be held

sunlight
weaved into
a strong blanket
of light

  • 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
