next year i will

make friends with the

mirror in the hall.

living with eyes half closed

is just death while you’re breathing.

 

next year i will

shake hands with the

monsters in my head.

standing shoulder to shoulder

is the only way to walk the line.

 

next year i will

pull the thread out

of my heart.

in delicate pieces it is

easier to share.

 

next year i will

run to kill

the darkness.

there is only sunlight

that drips from this skin.

 

next year i will

focus

the kaleidoscope.

dreaming in color

doesn’t have to be blurred.

 

HappyNew Year, everyone!

Cheers to 2014. Let’s make it the best one yet.
