Today, you don't have to
Go out
Do that thing
Fight that battle
Make that call
It's decided;
You're excused
Snowed in can be a beautiful interlude.
Trapped
Inside such
Sweet relief
Billie Jan 2020
***** snow near the curb
Rubber crushes it
Once pure white
Now trod on. Dessicated. Filthy.
But still there.
Surviving.

We hunted for the perfect sticks.
And threw them in the water.
Mine was ****** into
The avalanche
Not to be seen
by us again.

You sit,
Downstream,
On a boulder looking over the falls
What a well of pain
And suffering.

In a parallel world
maybe
you jumped in.
Or maybe I pushed you.
Billie Oct 2019
Suave hair
Sharp suit
Glinting buttons
But your hands,
They're wrong
Posed.
And not by you
Its a block of ice.
Where have you gone?
Billie Oct 2019
Awake, aging and alone.
Tortured by only two of these things
Billie Aug 2019
The moment right before.
That's THE moment.
What it's all about.
Will I? Won't I?
I know I will.
The breath in, deep
Before the leap!
Darkness. Falling, aaah; splash!
Pop. Glug glug, gulp; yumm!
Vasoconstriction and focus.
Followed immediately by
Vasodilation and calm.
Take the leap. Off the dock. Into love.
