had I known you existed

I would not have

collapsed lungs from

I love you’s or cut my lips

kissing

strangers

[wordrummager]

it must be the fatigue blurring the edges of night shapes I knew are turning strange I’ve lost count of so many things lately, it feels like a new world but with the same jokes a book propped up on my knee and a hankering for fudge, it’s a peace scattered

[congo--jack]

revelry found

within me

borrowed and

stolen from you

to move forward is the only thing

convincing

myself

again

you gave with one hand

and took with

the other;

thought you were deadly

though you

made me feel alive

you are

the snake that bit me

twice

Three Sunflower Haikus

---

Seed of golden sun,

Blowing through the meadow,

Finding dirt a-new

--- ---

Bringing face to light

Everyday bravely, hoping

for new loves sweet rain

--- --- ---

Wilting in the cold

Stems, leaves and bones turn to dust

Grow strong my children
