poetry

in no particular order

I dream of lavender skies especially during this time

but I keep it to myself

the lavender skies are all I think about ‘

and when the quiet begins to settle, & the sky turns dark,

I understand now the lavender skies are my dreams

and mine alone

so I keep them to myself

I forgot about Bisan today

and the guilt washed over me

so I dedicated my practice to her

my intentions,

my life,

that as long as I’m alive,

so is her dream

and so is she

if I am no longer caring

about the injustices of other people,

then I am no longer breathing.

then I am no longer who I am.

I am no longer the person I am meant to be

take a seat &

I’ll take the other,

and we’ll take the train

across state lines;

and we’ll watch the sunrise

and maybe,

just maybe,

we can make sense of the

world around us.

and maybe the grief isn’t so heavy,

and maybe the sadness isn’s so gigantic,

and maybe your seat

and my seat

are just meant to be next to each other.

so take a seat

& I’ll take the other.
