we are destined
to burn
and that
turns us
to ash
scattered
on graves

sprout
stand in the wilderness.
look at all the trees.
see the leaves
return.
feel the familiar
be new
again.

Nineteen
the wind is fast
and the ache is sour
in the air.
the cars are rushing by
and there’s a quiet hope
that they are all
headed somewhere.
it is all so
much.
and so little.
all at once.
and
it will take a while.
to let go.
of this all.
but I am starting.

dark
amongst stories
of dark worlds.
and fallen angels.
and scars. that never heal.
there are shades
of light. and stars
shining bright.
waiting for you
to come home
