loose threads

a smattering of things

  • Her captain returned home
    Sails billowing in the wind
    The grass tangled in her fingers
    A gasp at the sight
    Tumbling down a hill into the harbor
    She followed her heart to the dock
    And gorged herself on the saltwater brine
    Of her lover’s mouth

  • Temple of my youth
    overgrown with vine
    seeking refuge looks like giving up
    to people on the outside
