a maki Feb 2012

connect with my hand,
crawl through my wrist
into my bones,
my veins, and my hips.

wrap around my finger,
you know I'll linger
around the bend.

at night

sing with me my siren song,
follow me from dusk til dawn.

splinters

the things we convince ourselves
have such potential
to harm or hinder.
sparkle me up,
I'll splinter like tinder.

forgetful

memorize my memories,
remember my mortality.

unknowing

your head's been in the clouds, little one.
ignorance may be bliss,
but bliss isn't always fun.

stay

spread your roots down
before the snow comes around
and takes your ambition away.

weathering

find the symmetry in the snow
lining the windows as the storm passes by.
fog up the lenses, as they try to document the sky
and its peculiar patterns.
