golden (moldering)
Note: I kind of forced myself to write this poem, because I've been super busy with school starting and homework, and I haven't been able to write as much as I want to.
i’m in love with the moon
and the stars -
Reddening
you got a sunburn on
the first day of grade school.
strawberry juice ran down
our sticky fingers,
our ruby eyes blindfolded.
we were endless then.
you traveled to scarlet, rocky mountains -
My heart
i.
my words only come out in
sudden fits of passion,
and then they’re
gone
again.
ii.
gone:
maybe i know the feeling too well—
my empty chest beats silently
ever since the sun rose. -
Rain
Today is a day for
soup and
put-your-hood-up-when-you-go-outside,
for English accents and cups of tea.
It's a day for
wet roads
and grey skies.
The little girl who lives next door -
lavender and rosemary
long forgotten childhoods
buried in cricket-chirping nights
come out in my dreams.
beneath the rose and strawberry bushes
lie the rinds of half-eaten watermelon slices.
foggy windows follow summer thunderstorms, -
a mountain town
the creaking of the car
reminds me of snow-trodden
highways
and wind that burns your face.
log cabins
and grey lakes
are too bittersweet
for my taste.
towering pine trees
and crackling fires
