Eyelash Wishes

you laugh
you blink
and an eyelash
falls
and dances across your cheek

i brush it with my hand
and it clings to my fingertip.
i hold it against your soft lips
and whisper
'make a wish'

so you blow upon the eyelash
and it flutters away
across the bedroom


i always wondered what you wished for.

Love Notes

love notes left on carpets,
the ink and memories
trodden from paper to floor.

as each footstep taken
erases each word and emotion
as if nothing ever existed.
