she
showed 
me 
how 
to 
bet 
on 
the 
horses 
we
used
her
shoe
for 
a
kitty

the 
day
was 
quiet
cloudy
and
grey
she 
was
thinking
about 
sun
tea

it's 
you
you're 
all 
I 
see
you 
make 
me 
live 
now 
honey
you 
make 
me 
live

-Queen

romance 
is 
cleaning
out 
the 
cat 
box
so 
your
lover
doesn't 
have
to

a
lighthouse
waiting
searching
bright
calling
for 
others
to 
come
to 
shore

my 
heart 
wet 
with 
sweet
like 
peaches 
dripped 
deep
to
the 
pit 
of 
my 
stomach

the 
winds
moved
the
clouds
perfectly
across
the
sky
the
tree
stood
below

the
crow's
pine
tree
swayed
in
the 
wind
and 
I 
stood
near
the 
dandelions

getting 
close 
only 
means
something 
when
it 
comes 
to 
pitching
horseshoes

-Frank Mansfield

sorry
I 
wasn't 
smiling
at 
you
I 
was 
just
squinting
at 
the 
sun

the 
reality
isn't 
as 
pretty
as 
my 
dream
but 
i'll
still 
dream

worlds
collide
stars 
shatter
into
pieces
that 
make 
new
worlds
that
collide

I 
let
the 
spring
touch
me 
with
its
cool
skin
and 
warm
heart
while
the 
night
passed
by

when
I 
ask
her 
how 
she 
slept
she 
says 
she 
dreamt
she 
was 
a
unicorn

they 
cut 
the 
grass
dusted 
the 
shelves
then
drank 
the 
sun
tea
from
folding 
chairs

the 
crow
cawed
at 
the 
other
crow,
dude,
Spring 
Break
let's 
drink
some
cocktails

it's 
when
the 
sun
comes
out 
that 
all
a 
sudden
I
can 
smell
the 
memories

the
food
burned
on
the
stove
but
she
decided
to
keep
holding
the
baby

they 
held
hands
as 
they 
walked 
and
sometimes
they'd
look
up
and 
smile  
at 
the 
sky

she
told 
us
man
in
the 
mirror
was 
her
favorite 
song
and 
then 
she 
cried
