Like a lazy Sunday
sleeping quietly
with cloudy skies
and overcast dreams
We thought it ended
but it got colder
Unlike you
I was trapped in the buzz
of the hornets nest
I couldn't retrace my steps
I couldn't see clearly
and though I was armed to the teeth
I couldn't fight free
And like a lazy Sunday
I gave up
only for a second
I gave up
And in that second
everything changed
the din quieted
the lights went dark
and I shined
like a fiery star
I shined
and burnt out
all in a second
I really think this is one of my favorite poems I ever wrote
