girl

sweet
slender
a little scared

smiley
cantakerous
willing to lend
a hand or ear

fair
reaching
slowly
steady

i find her fascinating

at once

a door will open
a step
then two

away-

in place
a willowy ruslte
the
scented whisper

a week
a week ago… decidedly lonely
havent come home from school or work
havent been here
wow

the only person ive known
who actually went away

from all of us

hiding in my box
wondering how to get out
and off you went

prayer

do you pray?
often?
in good times or only when theres a crisis?
not being especially religious or spiritual, the concept of prayer

to give thanks for earthly blessings, to ask for help or guidance.
prayers are made for other people.
prayers are made in celebration.
prayers are made as wishes.
some prayers are preachy.

i dont pray.

far from the truth...

i am
not
inclined to recant

nor am i
to
offer an explanation

we
say and do
as we please

in error

i am
not righteous

my head gains
while
my heart
loses

we all
suffer
the
consequence

worthy of love

sometimes i think
she is so far away
from me

she argues
to me about it all

very sassy
very defiant
very private

she makes me
worry

a swift exit

an empty doorway

a long silence

she is away
but i see her still

quiet
brooding
insolent

is that
a window
or
a mirror
