Alarm

Bones Oct 2024

Alarm

My alarm clock breaks
The numbers freeze forever
Time stops for us both.

Dust

Bones Oct 2024

Dust

Dust collects in fall
Too high to clean by springtime
I cry in winter.

God

Bones Oct 2024

God

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

Paths

Bones Oct 2024

Paths

Paths lie before me
It is too dark to see them
I look to the sky.

Skyward

Bones Jan 31

Skyward

I gaze at the stars
I begin to fall upwards-
Reunion at last.

Taut

Bones Oct 2024

Taut

My veins are drawn taut
Fishing line beneath my skin
I extend outwards.

Wither

Bones Oct 2024

Wither

I lay in my bed
The plants on my shelf wither
I wither with them.
