Alarm
Bones 7d
My alarm clock breaks
The numbers freeze forever
Time stops for us both.

Ears
Bones 3d
I speak for hours
Ears that can hear surround me
They do not listen.

Paper
Bones 7d
I have a paper
A plan vivid in my mind;
I throw it away.

Teeth
Bones 7d
My teeth are too sharp
I bleed when I bite my tongue
I take out my tongue.

God
Bones 6d
God
I look to the sky
And beg God for forgiveness
My plea goes unheard.

Dust
Bones 7d
Dust collects in fall
Too high to clean by springtime
I cry in winter.
62 · 6d
Paths
Bones 6d
Paths lie before me
It is too dark to see them
I look to the sky.
45 · 3d
Wither
Bones 3d
I lay in my bed
The plants on my shelf wither
I wither with them.
32 · 3d
Taut
Bones 3d
My veins are drawn taut
Fishing line beneath my skin
I extend outwards.
