title: Divide
week: 5
date: 2024-02-05
---
cut up into pieces,\
split the halves into two\
that's quarters, or fourths,\
whichever you like to do
numerator, at the top,\
tells how many you have got\
cupcakes, pies, or bicycles,\
maybe planes or big big yachts
denominator, down the bottom,\
divvying up the parts\
now you know division,\
they call you doctor smarts
+++
I sit here watching you across the way\
Hoping you make it through another day\
Here I'm guessing, postulating your lives\
while I wait to hear from he who survives\
With a fleeting attention I regret\
For your plight I too easily forget
You must feel trivialized by my fear\
I'm not the one at the end of the spear\
I'll swear I oppose how you're maligned\
By those weapons I all but co-signed\
Keeping you a victim to their attacks\
Assaulted with the mercy of wolf packs

In the flow, recall ebb, its bitterness and dark. Let it creep in just a little. That piece who finds warmth or kindness during abundance may resurface again, between thrashing waves - a small piece of light bringing hope for the end of the tunnel.

A world taken over by those who belong. Humans enraged, guts full of anger, their home returned to what's good. What will we do with all this space? The animals cried out, free, at rest. Trees growing broadly, cracking layered concrete, a flower blooms quietly. Sun shines from her eyes, petals spread, reaching. Competition seems simple now: no parking, roads, construction. Coexistence, mingled here, all species bar one. As living as life gets, so far from done. An overgrown forest, or so they once called it, now merely just growing.

My search result remains unknown\
My search result remains unknown
What if I find you overgrown
A break from my trek ever forth\
To feel how flame evokes your warmth\
Dying embers sit and simmer\
Reminding how your eyes glimmer\
How could my grasp let you slip through\
Unthinkable that you withdrew\
How was my grip not tight enough\
A break from my trek ever forth

Unthinkable that you withdrew
How was my grip not tight enough
Would holding on have been too rough
Awake and drowsy I can only yawn\
Again set out, before the crack of dawn
Through concrete jungle, turning to latter\
Objects of service on a new chapter\
To time forsaken, these buildings have changed\
Constructed for users now long estranged\
Inside I sit for but a moments rest\
A pleasant refuge no longer suppressed\
Abandoned now, theyre free from our restore\

Oh how theyve grown to greater than before
Resumed my journey more aware\
Unsure why I feel this despair\
My heart knew what my mind did not\
Its beat increased to rate forgot\
Upon glimpse of your silhouette\
A rush of heat and touch of sweat\
Long last my venture is complete\
Something inside screams to retreat\

You seem so happy from afar
Arousing feelings so bizarre
Should I leave you on your own\
Should I leave you on your own
It seems I've found you overgrown

title: Overpass
week: 6
date: 2024-02-09
---
'Meet me at the overpass,' I wrote. 'When the day comes.' I wanted to know so badly where I would end up. Would I be funny, pretty, sweet? Would my time be well spent? Would I make it out of this mess? Of course, I knew it was impossible. I'm only 17. I would have to wait like the rest of us.
Just in case, I went. Down my well-trodden path, in this city of bustle. Grey buildings domineered, I looked up to them, fraught. There wasn't much to see here, unchanging day to day. I walked to the centre, heavy legs dangling as busy cars rushed over black nowhere roads. Alone, I was startled - a kind woman tapped my shoulder.
'Pick yourself up,' she said, 'and dust yourself off. You'll be okay.'\
'How can you know?' I crumbled by her side.\
'I've been here before, things look up, I promise. Do you want to talk about it?'\
'No thanks, I'm alright.' My overfull skin tightened. 'I trust myself to find the way.'\
'I believe in you, she assured, her twinkling eyes gleaming.
I got up, smoothed my clothes, beginning the trek home. Warm leaves danced around me, brand new in the spring. I saw a butterfly, blue, fresh from cocoon's comfort. Black and white buildings seemed endless with possibility. I finished my journal entry: 'You weren't there, but I was. I will find my way.'

A stroll taken under deceptive sky\
How quickly it moved beyond overcast\
I'm glad it did, as it's the reason why\
I met you there, under the overpass
I wake and want to see you every day\
Even though I fear this is but a farce\
Yet still joy and smiles it brings when I say\
I'll see you there, under the overpass
We had a spark that at first seemed concrete\
Yet our time together has become sparce\
I have to hold hope, that again we'll meet\
If await you, under the overpass
Sorry I was blind, I now see the sign\
It seems that it's cues I struggle to parse\
I'll work to be better should stars align\
Meeting again, under the overpass

title: Revolution
week: 7
date: 2024-02-16

same problem again,\
the end of our wits\
together we fix it,\
bit by brutal bit
violent, aggressive,\
a match for their hate\
bigotry unfounded,\
nearly grown too late
out in the streets,\
people gather to rally\
turning huge evil,\
over onto its belly
a peaceful time,\
not here to stay\
history repeats,\
poised to betray
+++
The cycle kicked off for another spin\
A spark that ignited our fire inside\
To start a fight we surely cannot win\
Off to battle just to know that we tried
Again we are shouting 'revolution'\
Outraged by the cutting of services\
Only to buy their misattribution\
As we clap for our bread and circuses
Now back to calling for a grand restore\
Waiting idle for scheduled appeasement\
Although that spark was greater than before\
Maybe next time will be our achievement

title: Security
week: 4
date: 2024-01-28

a blanket of warmth,\
comfort on all sides\
out there are monsters,\
beneath I must hide
when darkness creeps in,\
security squandered\
towards evil and horror,\
my mind has wandered
please, tuck me in,\
as snug as a bug\
lest I fall victim,\
to ungodly hug
the hours are ticking,\
time slips away\
up rises sun's safety,\
to begin a new day
from goblins and ghouls,\
at once I am free\
to wish that tonight,\
they will hear my plea
+++
A place I know is mine\
Soft cushioned for retreat\
Where I can self enshrine\
Until refresh complete
This sanctuary changed\
As my mind developed\
Now finding myself drained\
When by dark enveloped
If it were but a beast\
A monster to be slain\
A hopeless fight at least\
Would comfort, though in vain
Instead it's my own wit\
Besieged by thoughts that swarm\
To slip in endless pit\
Caught by this mental storm

## dandelions
A weed, sunshine yellow\
A weed, make a wish\
How can something unwanted provide such bliss?
In Spring, she arrives\
In Spring, tall and proud\
Upon this gem we've all avowed
The fairies, growing within\
The fairies, scattered free\
Off into the world to hear further plea
Among others, smiling gently\
Among others, overlooked\
Owner of the land has removal booked

## daffodils
A noise that disturbed him from his slumber\
He peered out the window to see her there\
That skirt a perfect match in his garden\
Yellow falling seamless with his flowers
He ran out to meet her, to claim her his\
But with his approach the illusion fell\
The colour's a tint green he told himself\
He could feel she was not what he fell for
Back to his solitude he retreated\
Glancing by chance at his prize daffodil\
Something about its beauty entranced him\
And then he realised where his heart lied
The days moved on, but he stayed fixated\
It pained him they couldnt be together\
He grieved his creation as not feeling\
It will never know nor return his love
After far too much deliberation\
He was struck with the only solution\
In his garden he dug under the roots\
There he lay down pulling the dirt over
That woman visited many more times\
She noted the daffodils had grown great\
Becoming more beautiful and vibrant\
Yet she felt that something was not quite right
While flowers definitely are lovely\
She misses the man that tended to them\
Daffodils no matter how beautiful\
She would not have traded his company for
