Awakening Mountain

the darkness slowly lifting 
as the snow falls
my sanity slowly drifting
far from where I am 
but I don't mind
it's still a nice sight
to watch the world awaken at my fingertips
my hands tracing the worn old windowsill
the panes frosted with past tears
colors blur across my vision 
yellow 
gold 
and blue
the crisp winter sky is awakening
and with it 
so are you.

  • 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
