Dum da du DUm!

Respiratory
Sometimes
I just want to breathe
in lungfuls
of crystal water
maybe because
it will wash away
all of this aching
in my chest.

To have this cool water
fill every crevice
of these lungs
would make me feel so light.


Dec. 26
Yellow trees
in the midst of regeneration
aching for saccharine
sunlight.

Limbs stretching
growing, growing, growing

Are their insides as
happy as their outsides?
Are their guts bleeding hope?
Or is it just humans that
bleed transparent despair?
