I wrote in colored chalk today
By Acererak
I wrote in colored chalk today about just how I felt in long looping lines in flourishes and pouts
I wrote my grief in a thousand words that spilled down..... ....... asphalt
the things I loved about you moments that drove me away about those things id given those feelings id kept at bay
grainy words becoming stories that bloomed in every hue in every situation that id lived and grown into
then
when all was done
my heart sated for today
I found a hose and held it
then washed the chalk away
