the puddles are scattered
on an afternoon
as the snow melts
into the day.
and as the heart
falls into earth.
trying to find the roots
it thought
had started to become.
bleeding.

alone
the wind blew
into bones.
it was winter.
the beds were cold.
and sometimes
the thoughts fell into
others. each strangling.
living in a past
gone. but sill felt.
still here.
in this moment.
where the beds were
as silent
as the nights.
where the nights were
as cold
as the beds.
and sometimes the bullets
fired.
close enough
to feel close enough.
close enough to
chase faces
into vices
that felt a whole
lot like warmth.
and no one cared.

bloom
the flowers have learned to bloom
towards the light.
even on the darkest days.
-the softness is their strength

raft
when the sun
swivels into marvels
of a sky
painted by the late afternoon
we say goodbyes
to days
set ablaze
by the haze
of places
set in tables
served by a distinct
longing for the satisfaction
in better tomorrows.
longing to be filled.

(de)constructing
there’s always so much more to become.
and yet.
so much less.
