One of mine,
wanting it all to have been a metaphor,
has only fallen listless--
O, to be caught in the middle of the bell curve:
it's smoke and trepidation
in my head.
The apostrophe? It's optional.

The world writes its words on its doors,
not on its walls
so swing open wide, mason:
this is ephemeral
and this is young.
and this is written in water, because
anything is always an over-estimation.

Facade is but reflection deep,
and restless water ripples.

It was a full on stare
drawing circles in the sand,
cold and dry in the desert.
but it took a plane to the tropics
because the well was  all
dried up.
