Let's let the times we didn't wake up plant themselves in a row next to the guilt of things we didn't say and regret can water it When they ask, show them away
Holyrocks, some of your poems are so aching I'm in love with them, #8 is excruciating in its universality. To feel this way about siblings is almost expected, it is wonderful, beautifully expressed. I'm well into the experimentation with form in #10 as well, it's interesting and different.
I've been hella impressed by how you've stuck with this and the diverse range of images you've been able to call to your voice. I look forward to more.
I like you as an enemy, but I love you as a friend.
you threw me to the ground you bled lies down your cheeks you claim the privilege of raising me but you slashed my mom to a post and you taught us to hate those who loved us
you might have thought what you did was right but your words have made grown men cry and all you wanted was control you didn't love me you couldn't love us not even if you tried
and now you have the gulls to worm your way into our bubble? you wanted nothing to do with us you are the only reason you're alone
so get out get out. Leave. Now.
You are not allowed in my dreams anymore You are not permitted to hurt my family, see us, or use my name.
I'm taking the key to the chest where your memory of me if kept. Say goodbye to the girl who baked you cookies in exchange for hugs. Say goodbye to the quiet one.
brittle, we look for the key; locked in our mind, a chip look high, look low- we can not break the seal without lemonade or wild roses which tastes sour, or of perfume depending on your financial status
it folds in on her heart like barbed wire she bleeds without regret and the question still begs, begs for Redemtion she answers like she knows, knows she Must for her skin prickles not from the cold, from the memory that her father answered:
let it fall. we are done playing hide-and-seek with arrows in our smiles, the sound of bodies meeting the earth - our base - let it fall.
the weather man frowns at rain one more time- and I'll be on about their ironic behaviour. curse the thunder and the thunder curses you. look to the other frame, where your buddy's watering a decaying lawn. you don't even realize where your dinner comes from. we're out here burning as we fight a fire that your men made, and you complain about the shadow of rain clouds.
as the sun partakes in her daily disappearing act the crickets sing and the toads are the base the last beams casting on the sullen lake you sit there because it's what we do you sit there because it's sanity your sanity but I sit there because this is my resting place watching you is a pleasure- but there's a sour taste on my tongue as I see him lay his arm on you
the shield rams onto me I run to the sword wondering when it came to this- when what was my protection became harmful to the point where I embraced my enemy
so now we make the decision: stay with what we know, or face the unknown? don't let me gamble my future away.
tell us what it's like sleeping in a pocket where your dreams are doll-size a place you'll remember when the wall paper peeled back revealing scandalous thoughts you burry under thousands of wandering contradictions
not even dragons can wake you from your delusion of paper toys and talking antiseptics it's a privledge that your nose is still straight recall that the next time some troubled creature throws a punch
quietly she regrets the seconds spent binding bridges into highways a rope a day and tangled even so until they unravelled setting loose the fear of the sky falling
but if she learns to fly images of breaking her wings will remain in her future's eye
they have a box marked with the seal of a lost heart and not even the strongest wings can rescue you from yourself
