yesterday

i like talking without words
most of the time when we use words,
what ends up falling out of our mouths
is exactly that, just falling
free falling really, with that empty feeling in my belly
i would rather my energy rise then fall
and by just raising an eyebrow 
or the corner of a mouth
so much more is heard than falling words

i think the next gift i give will be a song with a big pretty bow
the bow will match the color of the song of course
my gift would have no words
or maybe weird words that no one could understand with language
that way when whoever opened my gift listened
it would be a little test
what would they make of
the tingling in their fingertips
or the buzzing in their stomach
or that swelling blob feeling in their chest 
if they could make a language out of that,
yeah...i think they would pass

backyard games

sometimes the summer air can be intoxicating
you know, when you breathe in and can taste bits of grass 
or those purple flowers that grow on the side of the road? 
when i can run around naked because the wind has finally decided to play nice with my skin
i think it's a drug
i mean it is addicting
and it makes me feel lighter and higher and giggly
that feeling of never wanting it to end and dreading how the come down will feel this time
summer somehow convinces me that the only thing i need to worry about is catching fireflies
summer is a drug grown by the mountains and sea and sky
just so the mountains and sea and sky can chuckle at how silly us humans get
you have to admit, we get pretty silly
and then we say our reason for being silly and wanting to skinny dip 
or soak watermelon in tequila 
or smooch under fireworks, is because of summertime
i guess summer is like a lucid dream then
you can mold and shift it to what you want
but it's not exactly reality 
i mean it's one reality but it seems a little too perfect
things that are too perfect are dangerous
i guess that's why summertime doesn't last
nothing that perfect should
