Poem: Breathing

She told you to take deep breaths –

throw a few minutes of air at your problems

and watch as they sink into the ground –

but you stretched your face into a yawn

and roared your deepest breath in her direction

in peaceful protest of her airy approach.

Poem: Photo Album

Flipping through a photo album,

I watch myself flying through ages

As I flick through its glossy pages.

Sometimes your face passes me by,

Only to stay behind as a buried memory

On that wobbly paper, beside an old me.

This new me turns away from the glint

As lamp light catches your photographed eye.

My hand closes the book, as if to say goodbye.

Poem: Solo

She danced around the room,

looking people in the eyes

as she twirled past them,

never meeting the same gaze

twice. In the flashing lights,

spinning late into the night,

she was untouchable,

her tears dripping like sweat,

catching light like diamonds,

slipping, unseen, to the ground

as she kept gliding forward,

spinning late into the night.

Poem: Breathing

She told you to take deep breaths –

throw a few minutes of air at your problems

and watch as they sink into the ground –

but you stretched your face into a yawn

and roared your deepest breath in her direction

in peaceful protest of her airy approach.

Poem: Autumn

The summer wonders shine like sunlight,

flickering through the clouds in our memories

of ice cream dripping down our fingers

and slipping off onto our clothes.

We shiver as we consider the chillier days

and earlier nights that are waiting to bite,

whispering into our ears from the shadows

of the hazy fog of the oncoming winter.
