Maybe, This is What We Call Life

The words accumulate like rainwater on street corners

Upon the rustling papers.

The brushed and burnt memories

Get printed on the pages of the blue diary.

The dead words clog in the damp soil;

In the silence and smell of death.

Happiness didn't come all way along

ever.

Maybe, seeking happiness until we collide—

With the dark burning door

is what we call life.
