Upstairs
Up here I’m Pausing, pausing, At the sound of voices. Above I’m Stopping, stopping, Just to listen. And I am Laying a hand on the floorboards. And hoping, hoping for peace.
incolumis asked: i truly appreciate your follow. thankyou so much. :)

The Dull Blade
This dream is like a fifty watt lightbulb.
This world is like a black lampshade.
These people are like fresh baked bread
This town is like a dull blade.
This ambition is in the jar in my closet
These circumstances are in the mailbox.
These relationships are in my desk drawer
These places are behind the padlocks.
My heart and hat are in the suitcase.
My ties are to be cut away.

Like Mother's Hands
Tracing a knife along your flesh
Like your mother pulled her fingers through your hair
Tall lumbering boy, with knives like mother’s hands:
Take it in like father’s breath.
Tracing a hand along your chest
Like your mother pulled her fingers through her hair.
Tall lumbering boy, with doubt like mother’s hands:
Take it in like father’s breath.
