polaroids and poetry

by Jana K - July 01, 2015

Willow

Teach me how to sing

Broken melodies

In the empty hall

Teach me how to swallow up

The silence

Like a spoonful of medicine

Teach me how to

Still

When the moon shines through the windows

and my tears flood the room

I can feel the ache

Stretching my heart out like the branch of a tree

Its roots growing deeper

Into a well of words

I can’t understand.
