A morning sunset

Bright

Too bright

Too much light

For the first moments of awakening

The thump thump thump of my heart

Only disturbed by my alarm

I hit snooze, yet again

But something tells me to look out the window

Bright,

Still too bright,

But impossible to look away

From the 

pink

yellow 

blue 

orange

life

all I can see is life in the sky

But I look away, 

School waits for no one

Clothes put on, bag is packed,

Look out the window

Bright,

Still to bright,

But now all blue

The sunset of the morning only captured in the creases of my mind

    drop to the ground.

    drop your possessions.

    drop everything.

    roll.

    roll anyway from the fire.

    roll away from your fears.

    A bigger bite, almost Pacman shaped

    Looks like a crescent moon, but it's actually the opposite

    The Snow Falls

    No school today,

    For the first time since December

    It's been five months,

    Almost half a year,

    Yet the snow falls,

    We ripped March off the calendar

    Yet the snow falls,

    The snow melted in February,
