creek
if I were a stone
I would live in a cool creek
water smoothing me
learning
filling gray matter
the information that will
vanish when I die
needle
deep breath. look away
metal pierces skin. draws blood
filled tube sent to lab
banned
at the library
was were I could find the books
forbidden to me
helium
Sound travels faster
though a gas lighter than air
changes the sound wave
new moon
the first lunar phase
rises and sets with the sun
hidden in darkness
