Tinted Sinister (#7 NaPoWriMo)

In the night everything is tinted:
Like a white-wash cycle featuring a rogue sock.
Hued in midnight-black; all things become
Sinister versions of their illuminated selves.

Dive

She said dive in,
But didn’t know
He couldn’t swim.

Tarnished

Look back on your memories,
And the things you’ve kept to remember them.
Tarnished is just another word for used.
And with use come experiences:
The things we truly treasure.

Grapevine

Like grapes;

If left untended,
Thoughts too
Can wither.

Ludite

Technology will

Let
us
down
in
the
end.

Mice (v.short)

Mice, nice without a hefty price.
Fed, bred, now millions are dead.

Mice

Standing on a stool, broomstick in hand,
From here one human drew up a plan,
To cultivate a crop… of creatures.
Similar in genes but without our face;
The real guinea-pigs of the human race.

Til Cameron’s Gone

Around my wrist there is a band:
*TIL CAMERON’S GONE*
Or maybe I’ll go first.
(Isn’t that exactly what he wants?)

If I only knew your name

You left something behind,
As you stepped off the train;
An impression on my heart.
If I only knew your name.

Crayons

Childhoods spent dreaming in crayon.
As adults, we’re forced to mould ourselves;
Forgetting that our tools should flex and break
Not our spirits.
