east west

sun rises in the east
and sets in the west
i should have known 
a new way
 to cry in public
if you re sad
smile more often
people will be sad back
breathe in breathe out
i should have known
there are no shortcuts
or hidden tracks
we end up 
in the same place
waves are washing away

the remains of us

An ode/odd to home


Without my consent changes happened
First the blazers.
Then a party upstairs that I don't want to join
Each friday
Some broken glass on the hallway
Reminds me that some things will break if they're bent
Without my consent changes happened
May is sending missiles to Iraq
And my grey tights have a run
A little girl tries to see herself
In the cracked mirror
No one can save the Arctic

i ll be



in between moments
waiting
for another dream
where everything feels the same
stories
that smell like toothpaste
bring me back
seconds
the only space we have
is this wall
that i hit
and pillows get wet





I'm only being myself when I'm dreaming



there is a dream
that we cannot choose
the 10 seconds after
the darkness
suddenly
i can feel the weight of my hand
clinging into this world




Zeit

Your hands need to learn
Maps of loneliness
A curve in the bed sheet
With no flesh on
You could be any noise
Coming from the kitchen
Trapped in a parallel universe
You're trying to warn
Or say goodbye
To it all
