Lullabies

It's been a while since I've posted because I've been working on some longer pieces and editing is taking a while. In the meantime, since I'm working on posting more regularly, here is a poem I wrote ages ago. This started off with a second verse but I realized that I never quite figured out what to do with it, and I think it works off better without it.

I thought I saw your face today. You were

sitting by the brook singing

lullabies to the frogs and wearing that

mysterious smile of yours,

the one that always made me wonder 

what secrets you were hiding.

But when I tried to speak, you frowned

as though you didn't understand.

And when I tried to touch you,

you were gone.
