Runner Up - Hussey

I speak to the dark

Will I always be a red shirt?

Some runner up

Am I calloused or courageous?

I asked my pets

If anyone could love me like them

One short reply

They were asking me if I could just keep quiet

Quiet

I normal out

There is nothing less dynamic

Nothing stands out

Just a stillness of the lonely

Take two more months

I’m okay with the perception

Daily provider

Blue is the ink I used to sign your name

Name

I’m of the mind

Your dispassion made you smarter

Nothing of none

Just a wandering of the slower

That god of arrogance went from thoughts to in your bloodstream

Behind your eyes

Shows the difference between the life you lead and need

The life you want and need

The prophet inside me

You knew how this would be
