Pull the Pin
Octavia Williams Apr 2018
Pull the pin out of my heart.
And as it explodes
into what
I can only
express as love.
Let it take us with it.

This Square
Octavia Williams Apr 2018
Splattered on the wall
Lay layers of lusterless paint
That crawl under your skin small
bumps with a faint taint
of a soft yellow haul
that drags you down to a feint
filled with reality

168
Carved into a bright orange locker that left emptiness yet a subtle joy
Though only half of my time in adolescents were spent here
It still has some sort of comfort
like a torn up teddy bear has to the oldest daughter
Limp and cold
as its steel lifeless bearing stare back with so much content  
Soon
in half a dozen fortnights
I'll be on my way
Such a unseeable fortune not yet told as it sits on the tip of the tongue
of someone betrayed by fear
Not as lifeless and dry as it once where
but slightly damp

— The End —
