under the almost full moon

I sit here
cold shingels digging nito my bare feet
a frigid wind wraping itslef around my shivering body
making me yearn for someone to hold me
comefort me
and yes, on occasion kiss me
I'm not ashamed of my feelings 
as I sit here staring up at the almost full moon 
it's misted over 
much like my mind is sometimes 

some time later

I slide in the still open window 
my cat watching with her luminesnt eyes 
as I slip, without a sound into my bedsheets 
still thiking about the glow of the almost full moon
and wondering 
wondering what you were thinking yesterday 
when you sat there with me.

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
