sleepAwake

I slept through the moment I woke up

And I dreamt it had all changed

The decisions, the choices, The…

But that was a dream

168

Sometimes I go back

It’s sick and it’s sweet, that place

I shouldn’t go there, but

167

Flesh glued to thumbnail

Scraped away quick, carelessly

My bloody finger

166

Fuck the fucking fuck

Ya fucking know it, don’t ya?

Just fucking fuck it

165

Let’s frost the windshields

And go parking in the lot

Until it all melts

164

A snowfall in Spring

Melts and wets the roads the same

As if it were rain

163

Mornings, the chill bites

Tingles the spine, numbs fingers

Today, I’ll bite back

163

Drifting floatlessly

As a grounded cloud might do

One day at a time

162

A gray sky beams down

Sparkles, shimmers prettily

Lightly wets my face

161

Enamel pillars
Separated by a gap
A smile all the same
