Twist up the spout that’s draining
into the gutter.
Cover the cracks,
Bloom into summer.
a maki Feb 2012
I carried my head on a spit,
I saw my beauty til my head got dizzy
and I made it back alive.
a maki Feb 2012
Crates of fruit from names of colors,
Strewn about like our past lovers.
Left alone and peeled apart,
Pulp fills the drain but leaves the heart.
a maki Feb 2012
The moon’s controlling the tides
And the minds
Of the faltering youth.
Leading them outside,
Pulled by the draw of a glow so new.
Hidden in the trees,
Protected by the bees
and their sweet, sweet treasure.

What are you trying to find, empty girl?
The space beneath your soul
Is getting filled from below.
No longer delicate and pure
You’ve lost your ability to discern
The hunger from the yearn.
a maki Feb 2012
find me on the roof,
the gazebo of our past.
fallen from the sky and
climbing up the rugged mast.
spinning slowly round and
dreaming you'll be found,
waiting for the future,
or at least ‘til you come down.
a maki Feb 2012
talk to me, willow tree
tell me of the life you lead.
does the wind cool you down
when your leaves fall to the ground,
or do you like the sense of relief?
