~Pennies~

 Pennies 

in a jar

what are 

We really

saving for?

Smiles on 

our face

is but 

our ship 

Turned around

Ain’t coming back

it swells 

in the sound

under the ground

this star 

falls on my skin

trying to get in

it's all about 

the time we spend 

could it  be that the lines

on my face

outweigh my smile?

I got my foot

on the ladder

and then climbing 

up to the moon

I hold your hand

and watch 

as the sky 

closes in

the edges

of the tide 

Play mischievously  

Through a branch

Of the tree

See through

This winter disguise

Freefalling

Lost in

The focus

Reality blurs

maybe I felt

it something to

keep me here

but it's all narrow

The edge

Of a curl

under those

Narrows and cobblestone

streets staring into

Overwhelming space
