Writing

One day I might begin to stop
and take the time to fill the pages
with my hand, that are written by my heart;
scrawled on the scratchpad of short term memory.

The words burn like matches
flare and gone,
smoke in silence.
lit to the alarm clock,
the turn of my love's neck,
the dance of leaves.

blown, and gone.
