2023.65

Delicious sandwich
Cool and crisp on a hot day
That I left at home

2023.64

Those hot summer nights
That end in a cool morning
In a too-big bed

Does the sun shine bright
Because it knows no other
Rival in the sky?

Slip into comfort
And fight the chaos inside
Your feverish mind

A castle of sand
Built at the edge of low tide
The place I call home

A smile forgotten
Left behind on a pair of
Cold, ceramic lips

While looking for you
I found myself saving me
A seat at the bar

A dark room, alone
Listening to the quiet
My mind doesn't know

Vibrant green leaves dance
Atop tall oaks and maples
A perilous tune

Trace two names in sand
And enjoy the time they have
Until the tide comes
