leaning against the back of the couch. oversized hoodie draped over bare legs.

she cups her face in her hands. looking out. the tears are steady & fast. but why?

dreamers together. she promised. watching the clouds fall & listening to soft words. her hands clasped together. where was her heart?

stop thinking she sed.

the dark empty house echoed her words.

the fire had died & all she could hear was the furnace & the buzz of time. nothing else jus that drone of quietness. that drone of saying bye to friends. that drone of pounding hot heads & sore throats. that drone of happy sad nostalgic whispers. she closes her eyes & reaches for her phone. really girl. really this moment is gold. alone. black sky. jesus & shasta & me in this house. healthy carrot muffins & hot tea. still hammock & still time. she is happy now. alone & happy.
