i saw god's shadow on this world

the sun came through the window
and you could feel it.
i was thinking how there were things about my bank account
that i didn't want to know right now.
i was sitting in a wicker chair and that is how it felt.
i was trying to hear the plants grow.
i was making a face that reflected all of this and more.
she said “stop that.”

at night i wake up with the sheets soaking wet

tonight the sky was pink and yellow
and then suddenly it wasn’t.

i thought very hard about being crippled by loneliness
and then my mind started to wander.

i overheard the radio saying something about
when i lay my burdens down
and that one really got me thinking.

if i see you tonight is a sentiment
that doesn’t really go anywhere
