Peek-a-boo, Singleton

Oh, he's there.
Peeking through borrowed eyes,
listening to second hand stories,
Parading around in a paper bag mask
living the perfect life

Watching
And waiting

Words you'll never know, Singleton

Words

Peace.
Love.
You will never hear,
never read,
never imagine.
Tucked safely here
In a found envelope
Addressed to no one.
"Send me words" you used to say...and I did...
morning bouquets of peace and love and startling relevations... that rocked your world...
but you didn't protect them. Guard them like your virginity. And now they are spoiled. And so what's left, for the postman to deliver
is just a stack
of
empty envelopes

Pen and colored markers on a roadtrip envelope

Paper Kites, Singleton

ENVELOPE # FOUR

Empty little suitcases
filled with nothing, but my thoughts
Paper kites I'll never fly,
never leave for you to find.
Addressed to no one in particular
in case they lose their way
Empty little suitcases,
filled with nothing, but my heart

SOLD to The Keeper of My Thoughts

This little night time waif is all over the place, snatching up the scary stuff so only the good seeps through. It's an exhausting, never-ending bit of magic, sifting through everyday horrors, night frights, things that make you crazy, that break your heart, that scare the hell out of you, and trying to find the good. But she does. And in the end, dreams win.
