Journal

She writes and writes and writes. I’ve seen her draw a rose once but she prefers to write.

Her days are long with no one to talk to except her journal. People always leave but never her journal.

House to house and family to family she will always have her stories. Wars are raged and planets explode in her stories.

Living on a foreign planet far away from this one. She searches through her writing, through her journal, through her stories to find the one.

Moonshine

Swaying side to side to the radio pop. Waiting with everyone for the beat drop.

The night is crisp with quiet raindrops. Watching the city below from the rooftops.

Can go all night nonstop. Watch her dance and shake on the tabletop.

He is ready for anything even the partner swap. Work overtime in the sweatshop.

In the gutters with nothing but a tank top. Better than up in a treetop.

Lights & Trees

Early November they come out. Never one without the other. Like there was ever a doubt. They are basically brothers. Retriever them from their hideouts. Just ask your mother. They will stay out throughout. Honey go and get your grandmother. I can’t believe how fast they sprout. You will never find another.

Green Lake

He shares himself with the water. Purity and light to the touch as silk. His curly hair in the green light reminds him of seaweed. Mint and whisky swish around his mouth as he goes back for seconds. Reflection takes shape as greed. Greed lake and beware of her relentless pull.
