Turn





the blue ballerina
spins around her star
and turns out
day and night
pirouetting
on an invisible line
stretched across the sky

she trembles once a while
but goes on.

why?
maybe because
she loves the star
maybe because she loves to dance
or maybe
because her/our/all life depends on it.

This time I walk away.
Something pulls me by the arm
And says
Not love
Not this time
Please.
And I listen
Not because its you
But Because I'm looking
The other way.

Yellow






Hazy and halting breaths,
Have never said so much before,
As when you came to leave me.
Standing at the door, 
Almost saying- Don't go. 
You said, "You're leaving?"

Words had lost their place,
In this space,
Like dead flowers,
That were kept but forgotten.
While the rotten-
Yellow stains on the pages 
Will later say- I,
Was the one who walked away,
When you were the one,
Who never asked me to stay. 


-Jason




powdered sunlight
on your morning face
like somebody smeared
turmeric on your cheeks
and held them up in a smile,
lifting you by the chin
from a dollop of thick, delicious honey-some sleep

something tells you...today will be good.
