It Is Dark

by Jesse Acosta

It is dark
The moon smiles at me
It is quiet
The leaves whisper in my ear

Light has abandoned me
Where have they gone?
Where have they gone?
Where have they gone?

It is cold
The night embraces me
It is lonely
Solitude sings a lullaby to me

A Tooth

by Jesse Acosta

A tooth has given me trouble
A tooth has given me pain
A tooth has brought me down
A tooth will make me faint

A tooth will be extracted
A tooth will cost me change
A tooth has been the reason
I wrote this stupid thing
