Books stacked high, the world
that burns like forever eyes
in the broken light of the summer sun.
Where are the words in my mouth?
They left my lips but I don’t know
where they went.
Thank you for reading,

She claws her way out
of hell, Cerberus howling
breeze warms frigid air
Young buds stretch for blossoming
birds fluttering in the trees
