I dislike to visit
that house
where fear lives—
its walls constrict
like lungs closing in
the air, beating fast
as anxious heart
a door, worried shut
like a twist in my gut
& those drapes
pulled tight
make me jittery
inside
the thing I fear more
than fear itself
is that house
where it dwells

Of self-doubt, each headstone states
You can be yourself.

My mood,
like walking
on acorns
can't I just
have a sick day,
climb under
the duvet...
with you?
If you don't
believe me,
check my
temperature,
I'm on fire
but a few hours
to toss & turn
in our bedsheets
will definitely
do the trick
so...do you
want to
play sick?

I often think
with #wonderment
on that princess
of the playground—
she really hated me
but why?
I, the shy loner,
she, the queen bee,
what got all up
in her bonnet
about little
old me?
But later I got it—
my heart was open
while she
buzzed bitterly
poor queen, hit hard
with the sting
of jealousy.

We missed
the #markers,
#inattentive to
the red flags,
but when
the flames
licked our feet
it finally clicked
we'd later claim
#adamantly
that we fought
the fire #valiantly
yet we didn't
even see it
circled by a pile
of #ashes & soot
black as #iode,
we mourned us
even as
we sat there
together.

Bravely I trekked
into that desolate place,
a barren nothingness,
where a bed runs
riverless, amid a forest
of missing trees
I found your echo there
right at the centre
resounding
on an absent zephyr
motes of memory
vacating
upon a broken breeze.

That #shadow
place inside,
beyond the fire
that blazes bright
a dark cathedral
of cold marble,
full of empty prayers
& broken dreams,
a door kept locked,
my gaze averted
this is not a church
needing a congregation
to kneel in worship
of a shattered past
made holy
with time's elapse.

Sounds of the city,
a bizzarre cacophony,
heels & hammers,
car horns &
other clamour
I long to escape
into the country,
a cabin in the woods—
you, me, tea & books
we'd snuggle up
all cosy, gazing up
at the sky
As it gets dark,
a blanket spread
by the hearth—
forget the books,
I'll read your body.
