Bases Empty

I walk to my room quietly, I get into my room quietly, I lay in my room quietly, I fall asleep quietly, I wake up the next morning quietly, I get dressed quietly, I put on my shoes quietly, I get my water bottle and fill it up loudly and feel the heavy backpack loudly and run with my cleats loudly get to the field loudly see who is there loudly and then walk back home very sadly.

Ollie

So sorry I tried that trick again, I know you told me not to. You shouted loudly, “Come back, Ben!” But the sidewalk was empty and new. I felt the ground beneath my board. Can’t stop…don’t want to. Up up…catching air, I soared. Happy through and through. Continue reading Ollie

Lemons

The bright yellow color of fire It burns you if you hold it. The bright color of the sun When you cut it, drops can go in the air and sting you like a bumblebee. Its sour taste makes you want to spit it out. It knows everyone’s weak spots, their eyes are one of their best spots to try to get to. It’s cold and bumpy on the outside, it looks harmless, but inside it can sting you very badly. Continue reading Lemons

The Sky

The little stars are sparkles, just sitting there at night. Oh how it’s beautiful, and doesn’t give a fright. You wake up in the morning, the sky is very blue. You go to bed at night, and you see the moon. Puffed up in the sky, clouds are fluffy marshmallows. You see a dark cloud and boom, there’s thunder! In the winter days, the sun does not come out. Then summer comes in a haze, and the sun shines bright! Continue reading The Sky

The Scar

I ran up a slide and I fell down. I hit my head hard and now I have a frown. Now I roared so loudly I shook the earth because it hurt so much. My mind went black like a cave. Then I woke up on a bench and had no healing. So I put on a diaper and went to the doctor and laid on the bed. Then it was okay. Continue reading The Scar

The Black Cat’s Howl

The black cat’s howl, the shadow of the yard and the flash of red and blue. The sound of running feet as the shadows gain and retreat from the ground with the flash of the sirens. The cold skin, the life draining away, through the window, down the drain. The quiet feet of the retreating man that nobody sees and nobody hears. But is there all the same. Who, quick as a flash, slips out of the window and, quick as a flash, slips out of the yard. The spindly skeleton leaves in the dark of the shadow, in the quiet … Continue reading The Black Cat’s Howl
