Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Nighttime blues

3 of 159

This pitch light, exasperating exhalation of things to canterthrough this room tomorrow, is the hollow of midnight.Moving beds to ceilings and fans to floorsin an attempt to confuse my orderly mind.It's all a blur with aluminum chip eyes having no lids.Where do the lids go during this thing they call sleep?Not the lids to eye...

Not Of This World.Sell me not to billboard paste and white wash.Call me not on cellphone waves or brilliant silver beams.Lift me not above the smog and wishes.Leave me be, I'm living in my dreams.~Bring the ocean in a potent bottleTopped with wax from seven sister starsWe'll uncork the last of clear blue waterdrowning all the...

She was unraveled. Snow hair in silver coils gone loose from her always perfect bun. I could tell she was fevered with excitement and anguish underneath the oak tree, as I watched her from my bedroom window, half of her face in stirred leaf shadows.

I was 11 years old and it was my first big trip to NYC. My best friend and I were dying to go to the circus... but to get to the circus there was a catch. My mother told us that we could go to the circus - if we also went to see La Boheme. WHAT a let down. We tried everything to get out of going, all to no avail. Before we w... More..
