                    "Friends from the House In Front of Mine"

At night, I cry, while my friends lay asleep in their beds. When I know that they are all asleep, I, too, go to sleep in my little bed. A car engine starts, and I awaken immediately. It's only dad, but from then on, I remain awake. Cars pass by on the road just above my house, some with bad mufflers, and some with dogs in the back, barking their heads off because they're thrilled to be off their leashes or out of their homes.

Hello Life
Hello life......I'm here...where are you?

I'm hiding

From the truth? From actualities that remain hidden from us both?
..or behind lies that makes us blind?

I'm still hiding.

Why? Why are you hiding from me? I would love to be just as vibrant as you are.

to have my heart ripped out by those I thought were true,
those I held dear to me.
I want to feel the dampness of the rain on my face,
the sting of salty tears in my eyes.
I want to be thrown down on my back f

She just wishes she could feel better -- no, she could be better -- in a place which isn't here. Wherever 'here' is anyway. It's always the wrong place.

She's afraid of the sky. And when you asked her why, she said,
"it just looks so heavy. I'm afraid that one day it will fall
down on me
and crush
me."

You could never figure out what she stared at
when she propped her pretty bony elbows on that white windowsill (the paint was chipped but she said that only made it more beautiful, more like home, even though she never quite understood what that word meant) and stayed that way for hours

wade,disenchant,flail:flounderi said fly me to heaven
because that's where you want
me to be
peaceful meadows
groaning churning
wax-drip sea

and you've always loved
magic. yearned for
magic.

so you'll rip

and the magic will
pour out, oh yes.
scarlet ruby red crimson

spurting dribbling running

you'll watch it, entranced.
it sure won't watch [over]

you'll have to clean it

the raw red throbbing magic on your

to look out for; it might

get infected.

you're beautiful and tells you
so, too.

and you'll think she's

too.
