Capricious

Paradise is so particularly
precarious- I hadn’t realized how
very capricious it could be.
I watch it crumble all around,
as ours remains as always it has been,
if always it has been. So very
little time has passed since first we found
this corner of Elysium. Can we own
such words as Always and Eternity?
Regardless, this Haven is
forever enough for you and me.
We will say never, will call it
always, and forsake it not.

Good Gifts

My husband bought me the BEST t-shirt EVAR. It's brown, and across the chest in yellow letters is written:


Hehehe. Hahaha. Hohoho. MMMMWAAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! Included with the shirt was a packing list containing the following message:

"2 mai favrit pometrist. kluvubai."

If you've never heard of lolspeak, you really must google it.

The Door

I’ve unlocked
a great many doors from the past
when need required such. yet now,
let’s leave this rusty lock alone,
let such things rest while rest can be had
and enjoy the footpath winding round
about sycamore groves and swaying
grasslands, through starry nights, under sun
burning in cerulean skies. The door
will still be standing if ever we return
to this shadow-darkened bend in the road.

Who’s to say we will?

If we don’t, that door can remain
locked and undisturbed until the very end,
and I can bury this key beneath the Waters
in the shifting bed of failing memories.
