Child girl

her hair ruffled like a city mice
her eyes glimpse deep through the lies
you try to feed her no matter
you explain it’s for the better

she dances among the shadows
when the party is lively
but goes to the lakeside shallows
when no one is looking silently

as the night lingers for long
I wonder what took her song

Flinch

we free falling from the skyscrapers
rushing towards the earth
we were on a suicide mission together
reaching for a virtuous goal

but when I looked back
and saw my innocent family
I flinched
I blinked
and that’s all it took to land safely

when I opened my eyes
you were gone
evaporated into the clouds
high above the sky

climbing up the hill
with the bare legs and arms
I cry for our dreams soak in rain
and rage on towards the top

grasping on to fleeting photos
crushing fragments of memories
flowing silky sand in an hourglass
rumbling sound in the far above sky

unquieted prayers of unmet goals
weight pushed onto each foot
gravity of time pulling skin and bones
fleeting worries hung in tree branches

we walk down the path
a narrow path open
in the middle of a wide park
one and only for you

Zero

just one more game,
I feel alive, unlike ever before
heck, even that Hemingway’s
been on his race horses

so let me have this rush, come on!
I deserve this, I survived today
let me have my game already!
let me live the life!

yet you realize
there’s a mountain load of work.
yup, go back to your cave
and start digging away your work
