stone

telling what you felt that day is unheard
reflections are cursed and made obscure

pretending to be sick on a day of stone
etched in the veins of the ones unknown

the victims fall and curse the wind
for not carrying them to find a friend
on days when life is blisterd cold
in a world afraid of growing old

there's not much left to save in this place
when the vanishing lines reappear on the face
of the earth's that drawn upon the ground
above and below, lost and found

and there's nothing that anyone else can do
nothing else to see it through
to stop what's been fixed in time
can further hurt what's mine.
swings

with tickles and taunts
no one could see
this mass of fury that came to be
stirring in that little girl
are things not of this world
this one night, this girl went outside to her back porch. it was very very windy. she thought perhaps she might have to play with tornadoes. a boy from the house whose backyard she could see came over to the fence and said hello. she said hello back, not wanting to be mean. he told her that he lived in the house whose back yard she could see. she said that she lived in straight inside the door behind her. he leaned on the fence and gave her a strange gaze. he asked her what she was doing outside on such a windy night. she told him that she needed to feel cold to be alive. he nodded his head and went on talking about un-important things. she only heard him when he said that he watched her through her window. she asked

'why watch someone not worth watching?'

he replied,

'anyone besides myself is intresting.'

'i like the way you move about so carefully among your things scattered on the floor. when you tiptoe, i tiptoe.'

finally, the boy leaning on the fence from the house whose yard she could see said

'i love you.'

she replied,

'i can't love you, i don't have any strings on my heart for you to pull.'
