One Per View

Review the works.

Edit the shame.

Flash on the photos.

Feel the life begin to drain.

Be a supporter.

Find vision in the air.

Get behind the water.

Pain will begin to pair.

So although it was tame.

The body lost we will not share.

Cold morning

Scraping the butter

Before you can use it for your toast.

Leaving the pajamas on for extra insulation

While getting dressed for the day.

Wishing there was snow

So you could complain about it.

Realizing that all these concerns

Are petty when you see a homeless person walk by.

Wishing you could crawl back into bed

Not just for the warmth, but shame at your selfishness.

Fridge Light

You open the door.

Stare intently in.

The door closes.

You open the cupboard.

Peer quizzically at the cans.

The cupboard door swings shut.

You open the fridge door again.

Nothing has changed.

Same food sits on the shelves.

Magic is not real.

The fridge just makes us wish it was.

The light reminds us of our disappointment.
