instructions on crashlandingi.
for christmas i asked you to get me something yellow.
like a sunflower or a new bruise,
or maybe the underbelly of a sparrow.
you bought me seven lemons and told me how
you thought they were perfect for me -
beautiful and bitter.
i left them in the sun until their yellow was all gone.
next year ill just ask you for a card.
ii.
yesterday you told me that i smoke too much
and i told you that i was trying to burn myself down
from the inside.
i want to be flaming when the sun goes down
and i want you to sift through my burntblack ashes
and find whats left of my ribcage.
i want you to catch a songbird to keep inside of it

summer sunshineI found you in spring, like a lost toy, somewhere behind a closet, i-know-you're-there, but forgotten like my jacket not smelling like the californian beach anymore after june.
your bag looked like a thousand artists took a dab at it and your smile as if it's a pain to lift the corners of your lips up. then they fall and curl around the syllables of your name.
it is a nice name, so I tell you.
the spasm your mouth makes is just a moment long enough to be genuine.

summer sunshine always tasted better when you were with me.
when we lie on our backs in the green grass tall and sweet-smelling, I think a year with you is as good as three

Wasted YearsDwindlers sit on the steps in the front
of the store, now abandoned,
and twiddle their thumbs
and contemplate dust
and the time that they've spent
wondering where it all went

All His Worldly PossessionsHe admires the beauty of the day. He sits on the veranda and watches the golden goddess peek over scorched earth, ready to darken the already crackling grass. He watches her while stroking a cold cup of still coffee. This is the last time he will watch her come to him, throwing away the chill that falls on the farm everyday.
Robert Milne has spent his life working these bare fields, everyday turning crimson blood into water for the struggling crops. Seventy years thrown into tall wheat and meandering cattle; two years watching the crops wither and the animals morph into bleached bones.
He smiles though he thinks of hardship. He won another

TruthHave any of you ever truly thought of the truth, truth of that crush or so called love? Maybe you just figured it was all you said and if you look back now you'll realize it wasn't everything you said it was. When this boy asked you out, maybe it wasn't as sweet or you asked him. When you two kissed there could of been no sparks and hardly any butterflies, too. There was only a tingle on your lips and a smile on your face. Possibly everything that happened between you two may of not been as sweet. As you layed in his arms you did feel safe but truly not whole. Although he made you laugh, made you smile, supposedly opened your eyes,

A Land UnitedThe Crusaders remained on the island to help establish the Kingdom of Eire to replace the previous government of Dire, with Princess Ariana deciding to remain to become the first Queen. Afterwards, the other warriors returned to Anglia, with Prince Edward finally marrying Princess Maria of Mousehyde, and Duke Brandon returning to Bedford. Org and Mina attended church with the badger the morning of Terrill 1, after which the otter and the dragon took flight southward en route to the Grand Duchy of Otterland. Its capital quickly drew near, with the couple landing before Otterland Palace, where the guards at the gate seemed happy that the former
