***
Rough edges of stone,
Irregular cuts and bumps–
Irresistible.
***
Breathe in patiently.
Setting sun and cold night air,
Calm fountain spewing–
***
Subtle wisps around
Crisp, autumn breezes swaying—
Oh god, it’s a bug.
***
I missed the sunlight
Long since I observed it well—
Why did I forget?
***
The bell rings three times.
Time goes by but nothing else.
Wishing to stay here.
