Old Frame

THE OLD HOUSE LOOKS QUIET WHERE IT STANDS - UNTOUCHED FOR EIGHT MONTHS, AND NOW, A YEAR. A CROOKED FRAME HANGS ABOVE THE STAIRS - WINDOWS OPEN. ‘CAUSE I KEEP COMING BACK, LIKE A GHOST AT THE EDGE OF THE BED. MY MEMORY’S FADING.
MY MEMORIES FADED. MY CHILDHOOD STREET WENT DARK FOR HALLOWEEN. THE SIDEWALK SEEMS FAMILIAR BUT STRANGE TO ME.

Frightful Places

I am drifting away again to frightful places - ignoring the signs, in bed with the laugh track from reruns of sitcoms. I am caught in a spell again - it was cast with my back turned. People matter and they're all I need to think of. Nothing ends how it starts. Drove Northwest to catch the leaves - I think they changed while I was asleep. I'll spend hours on my feet. My car stalled an hour from Kent. I drift back to frightful places. At least I hope by now that nothing ends how it starts, so here's another first. World from word I say, "I'm waiting for the loop to break." Nothing ends how it starts.

Still

I held my breath for the ride to Greenpoint where we skipped in a daze 'till someone called us spaced out for putting stickers on the signs. I slept 5 minutes late for work and stood calmly at your window. As the clouds moved in by the river's edge, we felt the light. So can I be still? Take in the breeze in around me like when we were still on youthful days I slept through. We were so still before my life took over. I'll see what I was missing. Maybe there is peace somewhere when Happy Hour ends, making circles in your back lot as you hold flowers in your hands. Holding our breath for a time, or some kind of phase - out on the shore in the hottest month of summer. Still. Let the breeze surround me. I'll see what I was missing.

Eklund Garden

Hey! I am starting to think that I am the problem - f****d up forever, caught in the autumn. I traded my youth for a list of symptoms and stopped at the trail bend when I left through the garden. I'm so close, crawling on all fours, connecting threads from home. Looks like I got where I wanted, but I lost my love in the process. There's frost on the pavement. Yeah, I'll fix what I can while I follow the blazes on trees that are fading fast. Now I'm so close, crawling on all fours, connecting threads and losing daylight. Looks like I got where I wanted, but I lost my love in the garden. So I got where I wanted, but I lost myself in the process. I just lost myself in the process. And I'm so close. Found some power lines through backyards, filled up on coffee. The caffeine gets old. Yeah I am the problem.

Stuck

It's tough to admit that the decade is gone. I spotted a clearing from a cliff and now I'm stuck at the top. Keep saying the ending might be fine when I'm tangled up in orange lights. Am I just holding space? I'm stuck in the same place. I move on without moving forward. Am I just taking shape? I'm stuck in the same place. I move on without moving forward. I've got four years left 'till I have to pull it together in basements, while scrolling forever, and stopping to ask...
