Shards & Sparks

Folder: 
2016

We’ve spent pennies

and dimes on the sun,

an angel to sweep in and

block out the bleak black

corners of the world

 

Light floods through a fourth dimension,

through the walls and the storms,

broken by table legs and coffee cups,

pieces laid out next to shadows

like a storybook on a card table

 

Somebody tell me a tale

of how white fills the skies,

clashes with sunlight and

pushes the emptiness

right out of my head and my hands

 

Somebody write me a story

of the breeze blending with

yellow lines and tire marks

as I breathe in and capture

everything I’m supposed to be

 

Shards and sparks

fill me with rhythm and

I’m searching, building castles,

cutting corners to

reach the sun again

I greatly enjoyed this one.

I greatly enjoyed this one. Very unique in its duality and cleverly written (even if that's not what you intended). Also the imagery was spot on.
