pillow

I try to sleep And toss and turn Behind my ears, a devil’s burn Footprints of the past on my heart I go to sleep and awake with a start.

hushes

Sweet cakes and candy lanes,I take a sip while the moon wanesThe dark night a starless delight,I sit on the swing and in daydreams take flightNot realizing when it became 4 amUnhurried and unbotheredI spend my daysMonths, and monthsTwenty years pass byAnd I still sit on the porch and drink hot chocolate.
