Haze

2022

Published in the 2022 edition of Atramento (Shanghai American School Literary Magazine)

Forsaken sunlight peeling back every shadow

Pooling onto these sandpaper leaves.

Kaleidoscopic trees shielding me from the endless indigo

As I wallow in whatever I please.

 

These windows frame my every inkling and desire

As I watch from my perch on this mountain ablaze.

Drowning in lights, breathing in quicksand – oh how I tire

Of swimming my way through this everlasting haze.
