Glenn Currier

I wrap my arms around Earth and Sky
for I am a child of trees and seas
and even in their magnificence
I am comfortable and safe
knowing I am loved
for I drink clear water
it washes over me
cleanses me of stain and shame.
This cozy Cosmos yields food and light
grand canyons and stars at night
and keeps me warm
in the arms of awe.

These are ways unique;
no other travels quite the same
but a flavour here and there can be shared.

tiny changes can have macro effects
making all the difference.

Clean

Little girl picks up the chalk,
Writes her heart,
Draws her mind,
Cries it all away
Before they can see.

Sleeves

Funny how after all these years
I can still smell you on my sleeves
The scent lingers
It's like you never left.

I know you're long gone, but i still got the same old jumper on, the one i wore all those nights you held me close.

p.s. today would've been our 1 year anniversary if we were still together.

Ten out of Ten

Are you today's date?
'Cause you're 10/10
And you cut yourself 10 times
On your left wrist today.

i self-harmed yesterday after almost 3 months clean. i don't feel good.

Sequel

I have 2 questions:
One, will the scars fade?
Two, when they do
Will i forget about you?

I disappoint everyone anyway. Why try?

the bus stop

the bus stop

i noticed
on our way back to the bus stop
you offered to carry my bag
it felt like a weight lifted off my chest

i guess
you're a flawless angel
having hit hell's rock bottom
i don't want to stain you like a bottle of wine

i swear
when you said you wanted to kiss me on the cheek
before i stepped on the bus
i could've loved you then

i'm caught in the middle
you saw me right through
wanting a new start
yet struggling to let go.

let's see where this goes, joe
