A friend—
not a good one, but a close one;
one that I couldn’t let go

And this gigantic mushroom 
Created a baby boom

SUMMER

-----------------------
It was one of the warmer summer days
Not a breeze or cloud in the sky
The humidity so high
I could almost reach out
And pluck it from the air

I watched the sunlight
Hitting the north side of my...

lacking wisdom

scattering envy 
curling vitriol
like iron...

and i fell on your black day
