i made a wish.
did you?
did you remember not tell?
that's what they say
"don't let that wish slip,"
but the truth is,
you can't cook wishes
into reality
by keeping them quite

whisper over your shoulder
whisper through the wires
whisper til your eyes leak
that's what your chest requires

I still make a wish
whenever four ones present themselves
on a wrist watch or a clock
and i still cook them in quite
only lifting the lid
for a moment or four
to sneak a spy of silence

11:27
33 minutes until
October!
my favorite season
when i was younger
because of my birthday
nesting in the familiar warm auburn glow.
now burning.
it's the start of a circle
a circle beginning in death
and taking a breath
before descending again
i will stay awake until October!
until i can feel that glow
until i know
that someone heard my wish
the one i whispered
as you walked away
the one i whispered
as i tried to convince myself that
this flame in front of me
is as fantastic to see
as your eyes

whisper over your shoulder
whisper through the wires
whisper til your eyes leak
that's what your chest requires

look at me
rambling on again.
waiting on an October wish
