blackboards.
stained chalk.
a heart held
bleeding.
outside
of its chest.
you know the feeling
when it feels
as though
you can’t be saved

going
today
was made of
broken hopes
and questioned dreams.
and
yet
there is a sun
left
to set.
and the chance
to try again.
at
sunrise.

tales
I have heard tales
where the beast
is loved
by the beauty.
and the pain
is taken
by the winds
in the eyes.
and the hard
is made
soft
by the soft.
the way(s) –
we can hope –
we will be saved.

heal
they will write
poems
about
healing.
and
smile
in their photographs.
and sometimes
they
will believe it
too

miss
it was close.
the days were the good kind of long.
and the hearts were the good kind of soft.
and the possibility of more.
ran. tart. in the air.
