when i needed words

To describe the magnitude

of this awe

uncomfortable with what i saw

the density of time inside my chest

compressed and heavy

looking for rest....

 

I don't like the winter, because there are no flowers.

 

I became far too accustomed to the strange equations of words and images

that form within the ways i think and breath and am

because in doing so i forget about the ways

you think and breath and are.

im sorry.

 

the mood is not one for generalization

i stress not to classify, or make distinctions

and as such

my thoughts drip and fluctuate

ripe with frustration

they are ready to fall golden and fat from the tree

Leigh is a brief glimpse into the fantastic

she lives among clouds and unicorns.

 

Can't we all do good from thinking deeply for a little while?
