NaHaiWriMo - day eight

8.
 
whispers in the sky
distant sound of thunder
the air is still
 
*
 
it hovers over us
all those years spent apart
even the air has weight
 
*
 
last night and this morning
the fields are filled with mist
i cannot see you

NaHaiWriMo - day seven

7.
 
we keep moving
the story keeps changing
looking for anchors
 
*
 
so much dead air
we search for the right words
find only silence
 
*
 
the lines used to buzz
when you tried to call someone
hidden and somehow alive

NaHaiWriMo - day six

6.
 
all that preening
the ultimate peacock
it’s all too much
 
*
 
so excited
everything abristle
the great display
 
*
 
it’s not a secret
you’re always overdressed
blame my desire

NaHaiWriMo - day five

5.
 
we were so cruel
using light as a weapon
and though nothing of it
 
*
 
being present
with all these small attentions
feels foreign somehow
 
*
 
all those words
stacked row upon row
my beautiful oxford

NaHaiWriMo - day four

4.
 
look up
there on the horizon
tomorrow comes
 
*
 
i was told
there are many doors
is that a promise?
 
*
 
tired of waiting
i cross the threshold
one simple turn
