and you smile as you ease the gun from my hand, I am frozen with joy right where I stand.

halfway through my senior year of high school?
this year has been nothing like the rest of them. i'm alone in this school.


so much uncertainty,
maybe not so much.


Temple portfolio interview on Friday.
If I don't get in?
Well, I don't know what I will do.
I would be going to the beach tomorrow, but there is a winter storm warning.
This job isn't for me.
Something weird is going on, nothing is as it used to be...this inevitable change got the worst of us.

I close my eyes to disappear
into the fields of stars between my ears
the dark
as they overlap
we follow one another
as we fade to black
