#lachesism
someday ill miss
spending mornings entangled,
kissing with the taste of marijuana on our lips,
and smelling the rain through your broken pane.
but until the day comes when i cant stay,
ill keep my secret hope
that i wont have to walk away
because now,
we even laugh the same.

Life
a gameboard
Each day, you role a die
& move your game piece
Hoping to move it forward
you pick up the card of chance.
Most often
you get routine.
Rub your eye.
Yawn.
Stretch.
No urgency in this card.
Just another move of living
you'll take for granted.
24 hours
another chance
Roll the die.
Close your eyes.
& hope.
for normality?
normality.
noun.
just another day
of what's expected
a state of the usual
routine.
Every fiber of being tingles
Lachesism.
To be plunged
into a series of obstacles
The core aches
with a hunger
for chaos.
A chance to evade
the eye numbing adjustment
into routine darkness.
Roll the die
with a sense of longing
for the storm.
It may drown you
but life
is a game
of curiosity fed risk
Take your chance.
Pick up that card.

There is a certain thrill when you are
teetering on the very brink.
An intense, almost perverse
curiosity to
see whether you will
continue to
stand tall or
will you
fall.
