A week of watching
Time slip through my fingers
These days spent fighting
Acceptance like never before
As my heart digs its heels
Into the ground I leave behind

the white moon lingers
in the pale blue morning sky
paper thin or thinner
like a piece of cloud torn off
there is only this;
the wind, slightly cold
the sun, slightly warmer
and the promise of something
we have yet to define

there are some looks
words
silence
a nervous gathering of belongings
a discrete sense of alarm
so subtle, only subconsciously detected
a follow-up question
(do you think I'm stupid?)
an answer, as simple
as it is honest
(no)
the silent threat
of a door being shut
and the end to a story
never written

The frost in my bones
Nearly melted
At one point

Your drunken eyes
Are attractive as ever
We exchange looks
Then exchange laughs
One recognizing
Where we have been
The other realizing
We will never return

from climbing stairs that crumble
and saving babies
suffocating in cellophane
to a sink filled with blood
and a never-ending neck wound
I awake to a greyish day
that brings travel
and hopefully relief

we would rather run than sleep
rather go hungry than eat
rather hurt than love
rather lose than
admit defeat

You tend to come to mind
At night
Like an idea
Like creative writing
Like a wildflower growing through
My concrete thoughts
Blossoming in my hands
Sometimes seeding into my dreams
Where I would like to keep you
For simplicity
