Oscar Abraham: Poems

during the weeks before retreat
lodge signups
posted outside

my ink was the first against
this pale sheet that
nobody signed up for
and left me sleeping alone
on the night of retreat

I auditioned for the solo
and in the end I was the solo

and nobody was there for me
on closing night

and wasn't invited to the cast party
"did you forget I was apart of this community?"

that you'll make friends

and those friends
made you tears of a thousands

i'll never forget how
afraid and ashamed
and intimidated
you all

me feel.

the loneliest christmas tree

Oscar Abraham Dec 2014

the loneliest christmas tree

In death we will reunite
Gifts are the second half
Of the tree
Where it comes
Feels
Reunited at last underneath

let it snow

Oscar Abraham Dec 2014

let it snow

you'll never fall for me,
but you'll fall to the floor
like snow you've changed
from being this little
droplet into a cold frigid boy

so let it snow let it snow let it snow
