stop. drop. roll.
stop.
stop running.
stop worrying.
stop everything.
drop.
drop to the ground.
drop your possessions.
drop everything.
roll.
roll anyway from the fire.
roll away from your fears.

Totality
2:15
This sun is mostly full, though there is a slight nibble out the side
2:30
A bigger bite, almost Pacman shaped
3:00
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,

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

It Doesn't Make Us Like You
It doesn't make us like you
The comments behind our backs
It doesn't make us like you
To comment on our shorts or our pants
It doesn't make us like you
To be scared to wear leggings
Do you think it does?

you like it don't you
you like it don't you?
you like how it makes you feel to be loved
you like the gifts it gives you
and the glow in her eyes when she sees you
you like it don't you?
you like to be loved

bittersweet end
Our end is bittersweet,
some look down in defeat,
while others raise their fists in victory.
Some of us may cry when we wave goodbye,
some may smile with a twinkle in their eye.

Take a Moment
To you
you who lives among our rainbow hills--
green one moment
orange the next
and always blue in the distance--
you who lives along a river
you who lives looking into sunsets
you and you

Playlist
A ton of songs -
Over fifty -
I love them all,
But fade so quickly.
My interest dies
By the tenth repetition,
And so I move on
To a cooler mission.
This beat, this soundtrack
On a loop.

Summer Lemonade
It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday- 9:00 AM, that is, when Mom made lemonade for the annual summer party at our house. Fresh-squeezed lemonade. It is sitting in a cooler on the small table in the tiny house in our backyard.

Home Is The Place
It's been two years
Since I moved here
One year
Since I called it my home
Home is the place
With more dirt roads
Than paved
And the dirt roads
Carry the name
Of your friend's grandfather
