#NaHaiWriMo — dove

Under the bridges
They coo and flutter and strut
Erupt into flight

*

From the heavens 
Water, or fire, or a dove. 
Did you hear something?

#NaHaiWriMo — tape-roll

In the evening 
Silence holds us together
Alone in our thoughts

*

That moment you captured
I wish you hadn’t been there
For numerous reasons 

#NaHaiWriMo - polaroid

The memories fade 
I wish I could remember 
The images fade 

*

It’s a good thing
No digital cameras
No Polaroids  

#NaHaiWriMo — jelly

I’m constantly full 
Now I’m soft in the middle 
And always so tired

*

We apply pressure
There’s always something between us
Squeezing out the edges

#NaHaiWriMo — freeze

We brace ourselves
Facing into the wind 
The skin exposed

*

Let me hold you close 
Let me hold you close and still 
Let me hold you still
