who i am and why i'm not (poetry)

haikus

people keep talking.

hearts harbor the deepest hurts.

the river flows on.

---------------------------------------

tail lights paint me red.

jealous of the floating moon.

silver, unaware.

---------------------------------------

age of wildflowers.

young and ruthless beauties.

never here to stay.

-------------------------------------

mountains on the skin.

pink dots like constellations.

you are not "dirty".

-----------------------------------

hands grasp for letters,

words from their someone not here.

vines grow down the cliff.

-----------------------------------
dying light of day.

stars clock into their night shift.

birthed fire of morning.

----------------------------------
