Adolescent
I'd
draw
face on
my skin—
often
times,
I forget
but
memories
flare into
corner delis
where I
perch on
windowsills
and dream
for things
yet there.
Sirens repel
the best
of what
comes
around and
conscious
vagabonds
wish for
miracles—
standing
streets over
inside a red
with greens
before yellows
but seven still:
sync'd with
movement
too brittle
to understand.
Rhythm
blends
constant
in melodies
streaming
feathered ears
to pavement
until
I am no
longer able
to hear
the sounds;
creeping
up slowly
in attempt
to throw
my
body
onto
silence.
