There are days when tired eyes are not enough to wake the moon There are nights that have chosen to stay This Morning, This morning, is a good reason to believe in angels Angels are, of course, a good reason to sleep Love is an animal Home is a distant shore your toes are buried in Home is an accent that no one can hear Sea shells around ear lobes bring dreams to ear drums Fall
Fall
Slide
Scraped knees
Scars are chapter headers in a novel no one bought but everyone owns Bodies are either the slowest way to heaven Or the fastest way to hell And regardless of the answer, elbows, are funny little things Like toe knuckles Like breakable heartsΒ Β Life is a Red Flyer wagon full of little pieces broken heart Duct Tape Super glue A broken high heel The hilt of a wooden sword The rind of six oranges And the fingerprints of a very angry lady with too much weight on her toes It bounces over the cracks in the sidewalks and across the train tracks Life is waiting for everything to bounce just right As it should As it will As it was going to anyway
