Weather Forecast

I cracked layers of a situation
The pieces tornadoed around me.

The storm settled
But the reason was left unstormed.

It has become a part of me
It has become a storm.

I can’t find my umbrella.

Painful Parades

Melted metals stream your head
Eyes become too hot to sleep
Desolate feelings unite
Solidify into alloys you choose to keep.

A piano falls on you
An untuned guitar plays in your ear
Expectations daze you confused
Your music becomes your fear.

The heart knows not of science
Yet you try to decompose
The heat is too much to take in
But what you took in froze.

This may parade you mind
But parades don’t last a lifetime.

The Golden Tree

She peeled off pieces of wood
From her coffin and sawed
She climbed out of her deathbed
On her grave she spread out,
Pieces of wood to solve.

With her tendons
She tied the pieces together
And with her breath
She painted on the bark.

With her teeth
She carved the tree
She collected autumn leaves.

She dipped the leaves in gold,
And glued them on the bark.

Learn to look closely at the painting on your wall.
