fleabane, a poem

The factory where once I lurked
now lays fallow, completely shirked;
all across the empty lots
sprout floating little dots;
white filaments of hair
that even a flea can’t bear;
discs of yellow so bright
they leave the mind alight.

It may well be
that a flea’s bane is a bee’s gain
but as for me, all it brings is pain.

wallflower, a poem

I’m waiting for my chance
as I fade into the wallpaper
blending in among
the effervescent floating flowers
on a background of sky blue
as I cling to my chair
fingers white with tips of red
wondering what it’s like
over there
on the other side
where you dance.
