I'd rather hide,
in early morning teas
and lily-white warmth.
I haven't spoken
in what seems
a thousand years,
nor you to me,
but there is that
unpronounced tether,
that wink between
our hearts,
that busys the space
between us,
with conversation.
just before it rains the grey and the green. my neck is craned and skin dry enough in anticipation. there will be that first drop and I'll remember love.
the intellects and debaters; societies
long of throat and moist urgent tongue,
dead and memed, cemented boots,
forgotten in the dark's deep.
there are stiff boots upon the cracked
road. they go left, they go right.
and on not even the sun's departure
can they agree..
I remember Marla, and Jeff,
Stephanie
and a couple of Brian's.
There was a gardener,
And a red-haired girl,
and of course a mad queen.
There was poetry
and there was community.
How I miss it.
#fieryverse
such a blustery day
with leaves dancing
and clouds swallowing
the light,
there are new clothes,
close like old friends,
and sometime tomorrow
the hush of snow
will smile outside my door.
I have wanted
a great many things.
not one has lasted
to my satisfaction.
what about you?
you ask.
I have never wanted
the air,
nor the sunshine.
yet what am I
without them?
