Chapters

My soul is so bound to 

What if’s 

As though I’ve never read 

All the chapters in a book 

Like I don’t know that stories 

End. 

Honey

Brown sugar eyes

Framed with freckles 

A summer moon sparkling

Against starry skies 

Last June

My pulse rose

The crashing waterfall

I recall the tension 

Nature in tune

My fear and anxiety 

Slippery footing 

How I poured

Collided and drowned
