Graphite Steps
My soles press soft into sidewalks. I leave a trail of graphite steps They etch out my first sentence— a diary in crayon, a novel in margins Time sharpens the graphite steps I stroll through my city growing younger White tiles paved over the dirt path I loved but look: beneath the cracks, faintly traced, ghosts of my graphite steps Size 5 kneels where...

Premium Member On some days, I am the pencil, drawing with uncertain steps hopes

I have been pushed and pulled, Across an empty expanse, Growing smaller and smaller with time. Used until nothing was left for me to do. I watched as they used others, breathing life within their blood. That once blank place. That once ivory place. That once is no more. Now I see, How I was used, What they created with me, to start, to sketch, to create....
