Why Do You Like to Read?

Why do you like to read? He asked me that one day. Because he didn't much like to read, and he wished I'd rather play. I didn't know the answer then and couldn't quite explain that I used those books, my very best friends, to escape my day to day. I loved to step away from life and into Anne Shirley's world where I could walk to school each day and catch Gilbert's handsome eye. I loved to cross into the magic lands holding Lucy's hand and sit to tea with a fawn and his flute, eating sweet mince pie. Because if I was there with them I wasn't home anymore. I didn't have to think about life or see my latest score. A book was an escape I craved

Catching Raindrops, Raining Upward

I'm placed on this space, bucket in my hands. Memories gone, purpose unknown, I begin walking and the rain begins falling. The urge bursts inside, a pitted cherry for a heart, and I am catching droplets. Running I splash into trillions, scattering. Surrounding impossibility. The raindrops keep falling and I cannot catch them all. I cannot catch them all. I cannot catch them. And I am soaked. Hair damp, clothes wet, heavy hanging Rubber legs pull shoes slosh and slow down up Weight shifts, and my hair hangs high droplets creeping up my back up and off my hair's tips above me My stories climb the back of my throat as dew collides and I cry a

Wood Chips and Bone

Fused within stone, perplexed within sand crushing my heart in your hands, Lost beyond conscience, in distance so grand I smother my face in your love.

Caress me in spirit, hold my face close, whisper your love in my ear, beguile me in pleasures, music compose ---Please! Affixed in your arms, I'm alone. Immortal and ceaseless, this still coexistence united, unfree in our love. Kiss my cheek now in your passive resistance Welded in wood chips and bone.

He wished he could remember them the way he used to. For now he was satisfied in just enjoying the pleasures of it. Sitting on his back porch with a lemonade, he soaked it in, allowing the sunlight to bake his skin because he didn't get burned anymore. Life working outdoors does that to you after a while. It was funny how even though he spent hours sweating in the sun during the day, he still wanted to spend more hours in it when he got home to relax. He didn
