A TIME GONE BY
In the same room of the same house where they once held hands, kissed, and daydreamed; in the same room, in the same house where they once cried, screamed, and shattered vases. Their backs turned to one another, their backs turned to the front door; no sunshine peeking through the windows, wishing stars all thrown about, upon them they are not wishing. Frozen like statues; too late to run, too tired to crawl, too spent to fight; now mere effigies of a time gone by.

FULL MOON
Full moon, Friday the 13th; I lay on the grass with starlight in my eyes, and in my gut, and in my heart. In love with a world that can never be mine. My essence comes from afar, from long ago fallen stars I will join again someday. Sometimes I wish I could stay, but when I look up, I sigh because I miss that vastness enveloped in that darkness that spans into forever beckonning me to float away.
