from Mon., 5/6 (after prom)

Hours of preparation,
the doorbell rings,
the camera's click,
silverware taps on china,
music blasts,
the casino roars,
the door clicks shut.

What an amazing night.

In Colorado
the weather changes
the flowers grow
and then some snow
then the flowers die
it warms up
now it's time for ice cream
pie.


-----


boom clap boom boom cla--

and then the DJ just
had to talk through the
transition...again...

boom clap boom boom clap.


-----


Bodies swaing,
colors meshing,
beauty in every
form,
exhaustion hits,
birds chirp.

-----


Too close,
too far,
Just a bit away,
can we make it?
A slip of paper
to show the world.
