Where I Live

I Live Among

I live among friends
among family
among peace

I live among happiness
among joy
among exitment

I live among a crackling fire
among a woods out back to explore
among the smells of delicous food

I live among the click-clack of paws
among the wagging of tails
among the barking at the empty street

I live among mountain views
among snowballs and blowing wind
among a small stream and tree limbs everywhere

I live among what I love
among what is unique to me
among what feels like home

  • 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
