shape




                                         The frostbite crawls across
                             her skin                                        the feeling
                  soon will                       stop                            her heart
             has slowed                     its beating                           her pulse
       begins                                   to drop                                   perhaps
          we are                                                                             too young
             to feel,                                                                  perhaps we
                         are too old                              the warmth, it was
                              so welcoming until it turned to cold

surrealist

Catfish walking sideways down the never-ending hall. The waves are crashing hard against the wooden castle walls.  Red carpet spans the spiraling staircase. Up, up, up, it goes. See the stars twinkling down into the yard, a massive garden erupts from the ash. Petals are dancing through the night as the brisk air whistles through the trees. Say it isn't so as the night begins to end the sun peaks his head up from the waters loving grasp horses silhouetted atop the river's hills dew sparkling in the new found light hearts are racing through the fields of green If home they were, then home they must go. Eyes are sparkling in crevices and crooks. One more day may pass, or has it gone? Just listen to the moonlight as it starts to sing its song.

Realist

I slowly sip my sweetened tea while I stare blankly at the glowing computer screen in front of me. An average day. My fingers cascade across the keyboard clicking at each key as they find the desired letter. Silver gleaming, my hands are heavy. I look around at the messy room around me. Art scattered about, light peeking its way through the shutters. My eyes wander back to my mug. Empty. My fingers stop clicking. The soft hum of the air conditioner can now be heard. Calm.
