Along the dark burrow of grass and snow,
Winds careen and wrap around poles of red,
And I breathe in exhaustion and apprehension ahead
Of kingdoms born that deserve the knife.
The same exact...
Winter comes with a gentle grace,
Snowflakes dance in a quiet space.
The world turns white, and
blankets come out
as blankets come down,
as trees stand tall with snow on top of
their leafless branches.
Frosty...
Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery...
Look, the moon is a perfect circle.
A circle itself is perfect.
Please don’t go behind the buildings yet again,
I have watched you all evening
I have compared my life to yours and found mine...

There were days I didn’t go out
and days I couldn’t remember.
Sometimes I sat at my desk
watching the trees outside blooming,
as if we had nothing in common.
They had the sun,
I had the sun through...
I felt a community like no other.
We all sat on noisy wooden chairs
Set in somewhat straight lines, a pinch too close.
These were strangers older than me yet,

Me and my friend, Angie recently got friendship tattoos
Do you know Angie? If you do know you’re lucky.
We are not alike but we make the same shapes.

If she knew she would cry.
No she wouldn't, she wouldn't even Believe me because that's
Not how she raised me.
But she doest know
The mistakes I made,
Stupid decisions cost more. People now...
As I sit here and write about a colorful tree,
I watch the leaves fall and think to myself,
this is the key.
The key to our memories,
the key to our families.
I see the beautiful...
6 AM is when you first wake up.
When you don’t know yet
or don’t even care what the day is going to bring.
This is when you two meet for the first time.
You feel refreshing feelings of love and...

It's what I need to do,
This work that takes all day,
It’s not a choice to be made.
I have a list of what is due.
I put everything else away.
It’s what I need to do.
All the effort...
