RustThe coppery screeches of metal against metalorange dust floats down from the hingesrain pitter patters on the silvery paintof the old chain link fence.Breezes float in and out of the wirey criss-crosses.The sky is lavender.Cement holds the posts in place,the fence is leaning to the left.a frisbee and toy airplaneare amongst the litter on the front yard.As no one dares to cross the gate.At night, the lights of the other houses on the streetare lit. Except for this one.Dead branches shake against the windows and the gate screeches slowly.Rotting wood falls off the house.Lightning strikes and fire sparks.Slowly the house is burned.the fence leans to the left.1/28/10

Itchyou are an itch that drives me crazy. A rash that spreads across my heart. Poison ivy has nothing on you. You make me scratch and scratch till I bleed…but still, no relief. Inflamed is my soul, waiting for the burn to stop…will it ever stop? Fingernails digging grooves into swollen skin, I need ice, snow, something…anything to stop this fire. But its no use. For every ounce of relief I gain, you sting me twice as hard, reminding me that you will always be there. Buzzing around me, crawling up my back, swarming my body. Making me writhe. Yet only you can stop this. Only your cool skin against mine, only your sweet breath, your touch. You are the only medicine. The only one that can help me. Your kiss is the only relief. Your love is the only cure.
