You are the sunrise that illuminates the twisted roads ahead.
The photocopier that seems to do what you didn’t want it to.
The branch that sways precariously in the wind.
The clock that stops, starts, stops, starts.
The froth that dangles a little too far over the side of my cup.
The peach that contains a solid stone under the façade.
The book that always ends with unanswered questions.
The confetti that looks glorious but doesn't stay for long.
The nosebleed that stains my pillow at night.
The boomerang that flew off in the distance, yet to return.
Written: October 2011. Explanation: Second poem written for university. A metaphor poem about a friend of mine, which turned out to be far more negative than originally planned.
