#NaHaiWriMo — online/ heavy

We wear all the faces 
We remember everything
And forget ourselves 

*

Minutes at a time
We mine our distractions 
Digging into the past

***

It’s a metaphor
The weight we carry within us
How much longer

*

We keep fighting it
Like the earth’s gravitational pull
We just keep spinning

#NaHaiWriMo — stuck

Keep walking forward
I was told all things come to an end 
My feet heavy

*

There is still time
Keep asking the questions 
We can only hope

#NaHaiWriMo — horizon/ dots

We ready ourselves 
For the heavy lifting 
Looking for home

*

Your hands are full 
All this empty grasping 
Under open skies

***

The edges of vision
Secrets and accusations 
Damage already done

*

Here is a window 
The flickering screen
Another fever dream

*

Find the target
Determine how much pain to bear
Make a decision

#NaHaiWriMo — cartoon

The difference between 
Then and now is a broken promise 
We trace the edges

*

After all this waiting 
We prepare for our unveiling
We work patiently

#NaHaiWriMo — neighbourhood

How long has it been?
Draw me nearer to thee
Let me look at your face

*

We keep walking
The sun sets on empty streets
We hold our breath
