Hang A For Sale Sign

“Hang a For Sale sign

on my brain because I don’t

want it; it cannot house

me anymore than cotton

protects flesh from rain.

Post an Out of Order sign

on my brain because I can’t

function anymore; it does

not glimmer like the

strand of Christmas lights

with the one broken bulb.

Nail a Beware sign

on my brain because it

destroys; it’s the hurricane

tsunami headed straight

toward the glass city.”

I think, perhaps, sometimes we know how badly a decision will hurt us, But we choose to ignore our gut feeling Maybe because we are tired of playing it safe Or maybe because there's always some hope left inside of us which we can't let go of. ~ A.G.

I’ve missed your writing.

“The troll in my dreams

always asks me

unsolvable things

to cross the bridge

above the stream.

With each new riddle,

I stutter and seem

to lose my wit, my

brawn, and gleam.

My mouth agape,

head spewing steam,

I cannot answer

for the life of me;

and so I am tossed

from the narrow beam

to float lazily

for the remainder

of my enchanted dream.”

16. Would you rather it be sunny or rainy? & 17. Do you know anyone with the same middle name as you?

Thank you!

16. I’d rather it be rainy. It seems like I’m always the most energetic on rainy and cloudy days. I love it.

17. Nope. I don’t think Tina is a common middle name, but let me know if we have the same middle name!

Send me numbers!

“It’s the middle of the night

and I’m topless

and paranoid as my mind

begins to wander more

than your profane hands

on my flesh. You forage

for a light source

to swathe yourself

from the ominous nightfall

since you’re afraid

of the dark, but darling

try to understand,

it’s my solace.”
