i don’t want the wind to blow.

these moments are rare here,

when the wind

blows hard enough

to knock them down.

tonight, is one

of those nights.

blowing south, it

deposits the dead all over sunset.

unacknowledged by

most, they’re piled

up on the edges,

waiting to be removed.

but where do

they go?

and who takes them away?

it’s not something

i’ve ever seen,

but maybe tonight

i’ll stand watch.

    These kind of writing is different from the ones I’ve seen for the past year and I only see them when I view your blog on my iPhone.

    I really think Brooke has a great smile.

    Have been reading through your blog this afternoon, while watching an admittedly dull as hell movie. Have found so many things I’ve missed! Your writing is just beautiful…thought provoking…humbling…awe inspiring…and most of all, real. Thank you for sharing these pieces of yourself with all of us. It is truly an honor to get to read. <3
