Two poems
No real update right now. Things have either been hectic or bad, so I'll post a friends-only update (a) after finals and (b) when I have time to sit down and do so.
Instead, y'all get two poems.
Firelight
Burning flickering consuming
Sparks
Flying sputtering dying
Wood
Crackling sitting unmoving
Heat
Flowing growing surrounding
Comfort
Soothing calming deceiving
Light
Glowing protecting guiding
Fire

Insomnia
The silent gentle embrace
From whence dreams come
Holds scant comfort to
We who cannot achieve it
Lying awake in longing
For the comforting sense
Of loving embrace and
Soothing rest of dreams.
Yet when finally we do
Succumb, no comfort is
Given, no peace to be found
In the terrors that haunt
The worried minds of
The lovers separated or the
Trapped students of anxiety,
Damned if we dare sleep,
Damned if we never sleep again.
