  • Hazel

    Hazel

    Cheeks in full bloom

    see you from across the room

    pupils dilated as you cross the floor

    leaving me wanting so much more

    pupils dilated

    what color are your eyes

    cheeks in full bloom

    I see there is no room

    pupils dilated

    cheeks in full bloom

    talk over a beer

    do you want to get out of here

    pupils dilated

    cheeks in full bloom

    like roses in the spring

    I can see no gloom

  • Crying into my chamomile

    Crying into my chamomile

    I live beautiful moments and then mourn them immediately.

    My tears are hot and I keep heaving.

    I love to be held and kissed.

    Even if it results in feeling missed.

    I love to lay like spoons in a drawer.

    I grow inspired by being around even more.

    I am so lucky-

    This luck is heavy and I don’t mean to cry but I can’t help it.

    My feelings are big and weigh on my shoulders like a tight and warm hug.

    I can’t let go.

    Its almost suffocating, but so comforting.

    My cup smells like honey and might just overflow.

    I suppose I could chug,

    but what can I do with an empty mug?

    Corpse Poem: Life After Bartending from Poetry Night at the Bibliopub

    I hadn’t realized it was a letter for me when the corpse poem came around to the bar.

  • Goose Bumps

    Goose Bumps

    sunshine

    breeze

    skin pricked by geese

    defrost

    bloom

    hummed and new

  • Powerline

    Powerline

    Driving in the dark

    right turn

    click

    “oh my” and new paths

    SNAP

    too late

    snagged on a powerline

    oh my god

    why did I touch it?

    Because I was stuck

    I was trapped otherwise

    Bare handed? Really?

    It was cold

    I was in a hurry

    You could have gotten hurt

    911, what is the emergency?

  • Like a kid playing a controller that isn’t plugged in.

    Like a kid playing a controller that isn’t plugged in.

    Bait and switch

    done with it

    You should do this

    but this is an alternative

    Be prepared

    we gave you what you needed

    But you didn’t

    If you succeed we succeed

  • Sitting Duck

    Sitting Duck

    Tantalizing

    giggling when I make a joke

    want

    want me

    want to be with me

    want

    want me

    want to kiss me

    on the bank

    there for money

    no mistake

    hum and offer a handshake

    sitting duck

    sitting duck

    smiles for miles

    sitting duck

    sitting duck

    tired of trials
