red kayak
alone
drifting with the gentle breeze
in the middle of the lake
water droplets
beads
of shining glass
shatter
in the afternoon sun,
drip
into the water
ripple ripple ripple ripple
breathe their life out in never-ending circles
surface like a mirror
reflecting bouncing the bad thoughts
away
but what lurks under the surface?
does it know
care understand
as it drifts with the gentle breeze
in the middle of the lake
alone
red kayak
Posted in response to the challenge Boat.
i always feel pressured into
being grateful for the biggest things i can
which to me always sounds like i'm shouting for forgiveness
instead of gratitude. i never get to say i'm grateful
there are all the things I could do with three minutes alone in my room
I have an essay to write and Hebrew to study
I have things to look up and notifications to check
on november first we said
ohgodit'snovemberalreadywheredidallthetimego taking
up all the time in the world with our breath.
on november fifth we said
