2018

I let my heavy eyelids fall and see all kinds of dancing blobs & ambiguous shapes.

Some of them whisper sinister thoughts & others sing minor scales that lull me to sleep.

Some of them lead to doors to some weekly curated fantasy of fresh new drama, hand picked soundtracks, and never-before-seen energy drink flavors.

I wonder how many of them lead to you,

Sitting all alone

With outstretched fingers, tapping the tunes of your soul on hollow tiles

Watching the world go by.

I wonder how many shades of dyed colors and pigmented oils made up your monochrome door.

I wonder if I brought you biscuits & tea, would you take them & how,

With bejeweled hands that have hurt & been hurt so many times that you’ve lost count.

December comes to an end & it just remembered to take away all your saved up resolutions & words you meant to act before another year slips away into a history of should’ves & shouldn’ts.

The biscuits are dry and the tea is cold.

Maybe next year I’ll learn how to make the things that I want to make.
