Beside You by C.M. Crockford

I'm weaved in

as stars are with the sky

as age

in New England houses

until we sleep

separate sides

of a king

we are entwined

for so long

but then

we have to return

to what we always are

My poetry and writings have been published in Ethos Literary Journal, Neologism Poetry Journalism, and The Junction among other journals and magazines. The first chapbook of my poems, Adore, is out now from Iron Lung Press. I'm a writer on the autistic spectrum. I live in Philadelphia, PA.
