  No Escape

  

  By Eilatan, Old Greenwich, CT

  I am the dark that hides behind the light I am the day encompassing the night I am the echoes coursing through your veins I am the sound of thunder when it rains I am the song of fear beneath your skin I am the tide that’s slowly wearing thin I am the shadows trapped insi...

  How an airplane is like this bus

  

  By Eilatan, Old Greenwich, CT

  Tinted windows hide you Cushy seats deceive Friends trying to find you A world of make-believe. Lumpy bags below you Each person out of place Pilot doesn't know you Cold air on your face....

  Famous

  

  By Eilatan, Old Greenwich, CT

  Is there really any other way to be? For the fear that something different like a tear rolls down your cheek Would wipe you away as your mother wipes it off your face Back when you were that little girl who fell and scraped her knee Because she was running too fast Because she was t...

  By Eilatan, Old Greenwich, CT

  Some people will call fall 'fall' until the very end- I call it 'float' 'cause that's what the leaves do as they descend....

  Backup

  

  By Eilatan, Old Greenwich, CT

  Walk Away- Matrix

  

  By Eilatan, Old Greenwich, CT

  We were standing there when I remembered I don’t care What is this all if not a matrix of words? Dead leaves fly through the air like greeting cards And I spin myself around, looking absurd The people always told me to stick to my day job To not spend my nights thinking Texas and minds But...

  Egg with tears

  

  By Eilatan, Old Greenwich, CT

  I ate a hard-boiled egg this morning Took an hour and a half to dye- The most beautiful, six-color stained glass shell So hard to crack, was it a sign? Took the egg into lunch yesterday to show my friends But they don’t love me, so what would they care? They looked at my egg for a second and...
