loathing shapes swirl
inside this
an almost haven
two bodies
pressed onto white walls
glancing into
heartfelt eyes
But never seeing beyond.
hiding behind bright screens
fighting to keep the words in before they reach out

This morning, I sat in the car,
and watched snowflakes race each other down the window pane.
Each one flowing down a set path,
already marked for them by another.
And when they go to the end,
they collided with one another,
piled up
like cars on a highway.
And I noticed one,
who, tried to get away from it’s path, already set,
and it tried and tried against the cool grey sky,
but it couldn't,
and as the sun kicked through clouds.
The snowflake,
it too crashed into the others, trapped, at the bottom of the window pane.
And I watched as, more and more joined them there.
Forgetting for a moment
That, I was human..
As I watched them in their set paths,
doomed.  
until the sun
melted
them
away...

the clowns across the street won’t talk anymore,
i want to be the cold,
the birds can’t sing with tongues on the ground,
*tracing your body,
shaking your bones.

I don’t know,
what you and the rain have in common,
but I am thinking about
how blue your eyes are
and the way you say
“I love you”

Still, I don’t know,
what you and the rain have in common,
but I think I could sleep better
if I was in your arms.
