it's in the wind now

uneven dust on the shelf
see the place where you put your shoes
they haven't been there in a while
i can still see them

it'll keep coming
tides in and out
washing away what i thought would stay forever
i can still see them

this can't leave my body
stains on shirts, blood in my fingernails
hush and roar and silence
i can still see them

why aren't they there anymore?

a step in the right direction

Running out the daylight
clinging to the night
stars staring back at us.

This should be
what it is
It still is.

I'll hold out till they come for us
with feather in hand
and you at my side.

Scattered tiny scratches
with a long embrace
Set sail to the wind.

And in the dark before the light goes out.
