Wishes

blow on the dandilion
and spread the seeds
to those who need to heal
i am still young
and i could wish for
power
and riches
but i just want people
to heal

blow on the dandilion
and spread the seeds
to those who need things
like love
and a home
i am older
and i could wish for
beauty
and fame
but i just want people
to live a good life

blow on the dandilion
and spread the seeds
to everyone 
in the world
and give them hope
for any tough challenges ahead
i am old
and i could wish for
a longer life
or anything i ever wanted
but i just want people
to have hope
for what will come

  • 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
