Meghan Poems

the trees sprouted legs and walked their way home
I genetically engineered my heart to feel nothing:
not the raining acid or the plastic bag tides
butterflies turned to ash
...

light pierces the atmosphere of the room
and fills this space with liquid lumination
it's golden embrace reigns my soul's celebration
the void is shot with light and leaves me whole
...

drugs
money
and sex
these things are
...

I remember 5 years old
open field
I spoke my dreams
into the wind
...

IF WE FIND OURSELVES IN SORROW...

take take take
both both both both
...

now every road takes me further from home
and every gesture leaves me feeling alone
my hands are cold and my pockets filled with holes
as I let go of every memory I tried to hold
...

one and one, I'm counting time
the landscape has changed and so have I
centuries upon the Earth, I've seen a million seasons pass
thinking each and every one should surely be my last
...

five buddhists chanting mantras down the hall
a young black man in the door way
...

riling up crowds
observing
...

vermillion paints the sky
sparking wonder unto our eyes
when we go to sleep and when we rise
the hue, glorious and inspiring in it's lighted presence
...
