century old lawns,
bushes and hedges trimmed flat.
birds gather grass clippings

I looked up every flight
as if I could go somewhere

birds gather grass clippings;
praying they do not erode
in brutal winter.

in brutal winter:
hot cocoa, candles, slippers–
i'll get through alright.
When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

the florist cuts the flowers,
stems shaking from loss.

weighing down the grass–
the air is heavy, solid,
it drapes on my skin.

air drapes across skin,
heavy with un-said promise;
the rain is coming.

there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

the rain is coming
and plants open gaping mouths
to the graying sky.

the water cycle:

rain drops fall straight down
but I sigh still in stillless
nights where cries are mute
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond skies with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the trees, circled by the circus sands --
With all memories and fate, driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow...

Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what Rome is about! We should totally just stab Caesar!
