Yesterdays

Yes, I have work that must get done
So that I don't  see the rising sun
When I am still stuck in the day before
... But I'd like to lie here and rest on the floor.

Yes, I'm aware there is much to do
With essays to write and cleaning my room
But I captured the breath of yesterday
... And random music I'd like to play.

Oh yes, I know I'm behind in my ways
With my future approaching and interviews made
But yesterday's stars are still in the sky
... And I'd like to lie here and see it.

Of course I know I am slightly behind
And I know it's important to sleep during night
But I still feel the rays from the sun's yesterdays
... I'd swing in a hammock, relaxed, and I'd wave.

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
