Internal Bleeding
I find it interesting that internal bleeding can be so deadly
Because you don’t even know
Until it’s often too late
No one pays attention to your symptoms

To love or not to love
To never love is to never lose
But to love is to gain the most

The gift of life
From the moment we are born
We are given a gift
And at first we don't realize it
As children we think less about the why and the how
-
I love you like the sun loves the moon
I love you like the sun loves the moon
The kind of love that only exists in the in-betweens
Between day and night
Because love is a spectrum
And I don't love you at the end of it
I love you in that sweet spot

When the bluebirds sing
When the bluebirds sing
The grass is finally green
When the bluebirds sing
The children run and scream
When the bluebirds sing
The bears no longer hibernate
When the bluebirds sing

Traffic Lights
Green
Yellow
Red
Simple
Rules
Yes or no or take it slow
Humans
Nothing like traffic lights
Never what they seem
Or say
Or do
Too complicated

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

P.E.
Today
We had P.E.
I do not mind P.E. -
I do not care -
I can play sports like any teenager
If not a little better.
There would have been no problem
Except
You had to create one, didn't you?

Chicago Audition
I used to walk into a theater and it was salvation.
Stage lights and people who filled up a room,
I was happy to watch them for hours.
I wanted to become some part of that
some part of the instant admiration

somewhere between midnight and june
Lying awake at midnight, watching as each blade of the fan spins around, one by one. My bed absorbs me as I think, "hey, maybe I should write something".
