by cricketbomb - Taurus

to take
it all back?

or a thousand
faces
looking on
in quiet
wonder?

a magic
show.

a two headed
snake.

a thousand
whispered
words
moving through
the tree branches,
like the shadows
dancing on my
bedroom ceiling.

summer failed me.
summer ended up
a forgotten bicycle,
with its front
wheel still spinning.
summer ended up
a dream forgotten 
so quickly it never
happened.

fall came,
and with it....
well
she left in the fall.

do you even want me to
stay?  
she asked.
do you even know what you 
want?

tendrils of ivy
grew up the side of our
house last summer,
then stopped dead
and leafless
2 weeks ago.

here we go again they sighed.
