Do not jump at me
You crazy little grasshopper

I sit in the tangle of tall grass
Beating gently with the wind
I am no matter more than the dirt
From which the roots grow
And continue to shall grow

Do not jump at me
You crazy little grasshopper

I am not here where you aim
Recklessly in no regard to your landing

Jump above

Jump around

Jump another way entirely

Just

Do not jump at me
You crazy little grasshopper

Sometimes
During the light of days
We forget
What the sleeplessness of nights
Can remind us
Would anyone like a spinal adjustment?

One day
All of the heroes
That we have held
Close to our hearts
Will perish
Into a memory
That we will no longer
Be able to recall
Brandon Jul 2018
Endless nights
Days confused
In sunlight
Close my eyes
Squeezed tight
I’ll never be able to block out all the noise

Cold June rain
On the tips of grass
Green and lush;

Laid flat beneath my feet

Some crushed;

Some curling over the tops
Trying to knot themselves
To the hair of my toes -

Hold me in place;

Keeping me
From places I choose
Not to go
Brandon May 2018
Granite face
Heart of stone

No tremble
Through my bones

Stoic eyes
Silent tongue

An image of a ghost
Unflinching

I’m good at hiding
The way I am feeling
