Haiku #2

try to slink away
always the darkness leads me
perilously close.

Haiku #1

while everyone else
is asleep I want to stay
awake for all time

Pulled

I want to look into your eyes
and see myself falling down a well
but when I catch your gaze
I feel myself being pulled
across an empty parking lot
and I'm desperately trying to hold onto
the ground running away from me
as it eats the skin off my palms.

Your Hands

I like Saturn
I like its rings
it makes me think of your fingers
and the jewelry you wear
and your hands
make me think
of what you do with your hands
and then I can't think of anything else.
