Thermal

I did
but forgot
on purpose
or accident
knowing that
the thermals
would lift
and take
me to
the place
even though
I had
no idea
trust does

Timid

Socks sheets 
and T
I see
dark divots
and dimples
greedy against
the light
reflecting and
reminding me
that I
am timid
at times
mainly night

Night

In morning 
this hour
so still
just breath
and some
distant knock
of silence
doing its
simple job
and I
the same

Burden

I am 
no hero
medals don’t
adorn chest
wounds unseen
but I
just shoulder
the scars
behind my
hollow smile
wishing such
wasn’t so

Behind

It almost happened 
and yet didn’t
and despite that
sitting here now
I am wondering
did I dodge
or did I
miss my exit
it’s always interesting
I think this
having gone past
what might’ve been
it lingering there
back behind me
