my hand stretched out
to you,
but you can’t see it…
Month: January 2021
How silly is it,
that people spend so much effort,
to chalk up great success,
or terrible acts…
Every little step,
is important,
not just the first,
and not just the last…
The beauty of taking liquid
and making it into brick
you can eat…
cry all night
stare all day
miss calls
miss meals…
Sometimes when you’re about to start scrolling,
do your fingers ever stop,
and hover over the screen, keys, or mouse,
as if someone has grabbed them,
to stop them from putting their skin to fire?..
For goodness’ sake,
it’s just a book,
some ink,
a few pages,
and bit more cardboard besides…
I didn’t cry for you today.
Nor did I cry for you yesterday.
The tears are staying
on the inside now….
It’s just a little one,
how bad can it be?..
The worst thing when cold,
is being cold itself,
but being warm in the cold…
