    Re: Picture Perfect . Week 3

    when my sister was young,
    she climbed rock piles
    while I scaled
    mountains of bodies;
    she tore her toenail off,
    I broke my heart
    but all things unconsidered
    I never forgot how to fall
    and I wrapped my wounds
    in sea-weed and algae

    the salt burned the cut,
    I learned to take on
    smaller less imposing
    hurdles;
    she gave up.

    I would be a liar, however,
    if I wrote truth
    honestly there was something
    mesmerizing about
    sitting atop the rubble
    and flicking cigarette butts
    burnt to the filter
    to my footprints
    and sandals.

    I cried then,
    somedays I still do,
    there's always something
    in my eye
    dust
    woodchips
    dander
    you

    if it wasn't for my blushed skin,
    I'd never give it away
    but my secrets
    are written all over me
    usually

    she's better at it.
    secrets, I mean.
    I could learn a thing from her,
    about rock piles.
    can I kick it?

    neutral shades stacked in an uncompromising
    alter, where the weary can throw down
    thoughts, like pebbles
    hoping the earth will recieve them
    like clouds rest in atmosphere.
