SEPTEMBER
Taylor Horsley

the smell of burnt hair lingers in the room
I hear the foot boards creek
in the shadows of the moon
arms flail
sheets curve
the air is thick with breath
the smell lingers onward
like a child born to death

Taylor Horsley will be attending Humboldt University in the fall as a junior and will be studying English literature. She loves finding obscure information having to do with history of music and old movies. She writes songs as well as poetry and short stories and hopes all the knowledge she accumulates will be put to good use.
