We fear darkness,
and the clatter
of jagged teeth.
No monster
under the bed,
the closet is
empty.
You were born
in the belly
of the beast.
Scream.
#unabashed
We're screaming, too.

I chased a rainbow.
During the war
I wandered the desert.
On my deathbed
I saw the future.
I smiled,
crawling into the mirage.

Are you patient?
Can you sit alone,
every nerve ending anticipating
touch?
Have you watched others eat
until every bite was gone
while your stomach
growled?
Have you paced the floor,
holding back tears,
felt the adrenaline rush

Margaret tossed the broken
crucifix into the trash bin.
She pushed past her sister
took a seat at the table.
She didn't want him to ask her.
Tried not to say yes.
But, they danced.
He held her in his arms.
Careful as a new mother
holding a baby.

I watched him step by step
all the way to the summit.
He looked around, dropped
his head with a sigh.
He sat looking down,
drinking his coffee. | Poetry Community | — | 319 | 0.2x | 38 | Jul 27 |

She never said my name,
not like everyone else.
She never said many things
like anyone else,
really.
There was a #cadence to it.
It wasn't musical.
It was
hers. | Poetry Community | — | 251 | 0.2x | 37 | Jul 26 |

She asked if I wanted to watch #shadows dance.
I leaned back in my chair as if I had options to consider.
We went to a hotel where the windows seemed larger
than the walls. She stuffed my hands with pennies and
told me to slide them between the door and | Poetry Community | — | 247 | 0.2x | 15 | Aug 5 |

You paced the floor
I managed to stay in my chair.
You had a lot to say
as you wore down the carpet.
When the car arrived I swallowed
the last bit of Gin in the bottle.
You dropped my suitcase and spilled
a few of your things. Felt wrong to
offer to help.

Escape is just a kiss away.
Let me wrap myself into you.
Exist here with me, only with me.
Escape is just a pinch away.
Take a deep breath, hold it for me.
Just a pinch.

We submit to you our deeds.
We #toil for nothing most days.
We submit to you our ideas.
We create to the point of saturation.
We submit to you our dreams.
We watch the simple become unobtainable.
We submit to you our hope.
We stand at hell's gate, eager to learn our | Poetry Community | — | 134 | 0.1x | 18 | Aug 10 |
