Entrap

•

We’re breathing in cages

Of barbed words and

Stares, stares, stares

•

Blink

•

My being is in touch

With sweat and

Hands, fingers, nails

Of strangers

•

Clink

•

Buses and home alike.

These walls of cream and yellow

Protect me, entrap me

In me.

Drenched

My jaws ache with the effort

Of keeping storms inside

My fingers tremble to the tunes

Of quakes in my mind

Waves after waves of real

Wash over me

And I stand drenched

In my own sunlight.

Plan

•

If I could rearrange

The needles of time

I wouldn’t make it go

Slow or fast

I would let it run

Just as it always has.

Everything happens

When it is due

People come, people go

Except for a lucky few.

Nights

•

Some nights are for

Your own flood of emotions

And pool of tears

Empty empty laughs

Oh, these oceans of humans.
