This Works

Catch in my breath

flush in my cheeks

that is all your fault.

I never knew that it could be this easy

this simple

this fun.

Something in the night air

or in our hands that hold onto each other.

is effecting my mind

making me see past all the impossibilities and letting me see

that

this works.

Things Left Unsaid

The space between two seconds

gapes wide

enough for me to see

for barely no time at all.

The things left unsaid.

The gleam in your eyes

opens with

a whistle and lets me hear

for a dollar or less.

The things left unsaid.

The fidget of your smile

alludes to secrets

real enough for me to touch

in the palm of my hand.

The things left unsaid.

The whisper of the rainfall

cleans ruins

allowing me to taste

no hinting involved.

The things left unsaid.

The hovering sweat on your brow

draws sand pictures

pointing me to smell

even the scentlessness of.

The things left unsaid.

How about we say them

Nothing Like A Bestfriend

We lie on our backs in the mall. Cell phones brandished. From afar this friendship could look weak, the fact that we are unfocused on one another, and entirely enthralled by our phones. But at closer observation the fact that we are laughing deters onlookers from their previous belief in our teenage technological distractions.

In reality, we are not texting our boyfriends, we are not looking at pictures, we are not playing solitaire, and we are not even updating our facebook statuses. Pedestrians and avid shoppers might smile, surprised, by the fact that we are playing with sunlight. Two girls in their prime, lost in their own world of light and reflections. Chasing the others shiny droplet of light around the walls. Dignity abandoned in the springs first sunshine.
