The girl was out of control, sprinting too fast.
She ran herself right down into the ground
And did not stop until she was so far under
The sun was lost to layers of soil and earth, too
Heavy for her exhausted arms to lift. Trapped;
She curled herself up and rested, dormant
A seed. Alone, she waited. Time passed, seasons
Changed as gradually parts of her began to awaken and
unravel. Painful at first, reaching out, pushing up, searching-
When she finally broke the surface she shyly stood
Unsure of herself, slowly shaking off the dirt until
She found the warmth again and bloomed.

like the cavern where crimson vellum once resided

like the chestnut eyes that bore into yours
And as the rain falls harder
as it falls faster
washing down the streets
through deep alleys,
down endless roads,
for
once
just

i pray it takes me with

Someday
Jane and Ellis floated parallel to one another across the vast canvas of space, eyeing the marble-like planets that slowly crept past them. Their skin reflected the starlight with a dull orange sheen. Ellis had called it 'planet gazing,' an activity he apparently thought suitable for a date.
"Do you see that one below us?" Ellis said, pointing to a round blue mass.
Jane shrugged.
"Isn't it beautiful?" he asked. "I'll bet it's beautiful on the surface, too. Like the way the dust begins to spiral when a star is forming."
"Something like that," Jane said. She didn't understand his excitement. Planets were nothing interesting. They were just

Against Nature
"Mommy!" The call shatters the peace I fumble to carry like a bell in an abandoned cathedral. I can't stop myself from looking for the little girl whose voice pierces my heart.
I can't find her. The park is full of children - too full. Shrieks bleed with laughter, buried under the heavy pounding near my temples. Children push against me, protesting as I rush by. Heads raise as nearby adults track me with wary eyes. They see a frantic parent searching for her child, but no amount of sympathy inspires them to do more. The sharp tang of fear burns; no matter how quick I am or how many times I search the colorful maze of jungle
