Old Friends

The sun and the moon

do not face one another

The glass and lit shadows

have nothing to do

Today is a day and tomorrow

is the story of her

The girl I never knew

~Tina Meeks

Lost in the Wild

I fell in love with the memories

of you lost in my heart

in a foreign language

Lost in a place I have yet to go

I have yet to adore

Trying to learn how to control my throat 

is anything but effortless

I'd rather be quiet but I don't wanna

be alone

If I wanted to be alone,

I'd have befriended Christopher McCandless

and think nothing of it

We'd climb mountains

We'd eat beans from a can

We would keep walking 

until we reach anything and silently 

think to ourselves

about the reflections of our lives

and how silly society is

with islands of consumption,

and that would be the extent

of our communication 

And this is where I'm truly lost,

because you've trailed off in my mind

And you are always smiling...
