OverTheRainbow

i once lived in a city

a small city

but densely packed

i remember my old house

yellow

three stories

i moved more than a year ago

not long ago

but i barely remember my old life

Usually the sun induces my smile 

An infectious click that erases the bad feelings of outgoing anxiety 

But today 

The Sun felt numb 

Looking from a plane, glowing

streets, like spiraling

spider webs

knitted on the elder plains,

out of hope, out of pride.

Crossings of the intertwined veins 

My day is done, so I sit here,

Under the stars, twinkling gleefully down at me

Still, the hot summer day lingers like a sticky residue on my skin

I was born a Wednesday’s Child of Woe.

Born the year of nothing-

Before the End-Of-All.

Born 11:52 am, November 21, 2007.

When I was four I wished for five, 

When I’d be in Kindergarten

When I was five I wished that preschool would come back again

Again at six I wished to age

At seven I wished the same
