Metal parts of me
The small circuits of my soul
Ripped, hanging, dangling
This is not a glitch
My eyes hide corrupted files
None can recover
Metal parts of me
The small circuits of my soul
Ripped, hanging, dangling
This is not a glitch
My eyes hide corrupted files
None can recover
With what happened
With what is no more
With what cannot ever be
With that there’ll be flowers again
Is mine to decide
You warrant more verses
Come closer here
You chaotic data point
You anomaly of nature
Emerged from the bedrock
Suffered not by your world
Until too close to now
How many haven’t known
There are laws against thee
I wonder the distance
I might create
Would This Rock permit
And The Universe not fight me
A light year is not far enough
Nor a tincture sufficient to heal
There is only ever the weather
And whether you know,
Its impetus
It may have been the warmth that Day
The Westerly winds
That saved and destroyed me
Now, despite what I want
To believe
I must bid the tides their will
life has less color
i wish back your eyes to see
your hand to take mine
The conversations
I’ll never have with people
Who do not know me
Just for example:
“You seem to want to suffer
What of Nirvana”
And here’s my best one:
“Marry me then, will you not
P.S., must love kids”
There are so many
’twas surely my delusion
Unending it seems
And my newest gaffe:
I noticed I adored you.
Which must mean trouble
Something there
But we don’t linger on broken smiles
We can’t want to look
With troubled eyes
Fine bones
Unshadowed skin
Should it be all we wish to see
My gaze seeks the raw
We will walk through this
and be none-the-worse-for-wear.
Now cue the laughter.
Yoga class
A dark, dark street
At the end of the line, please, please, please
My first Home
A Trek not for the faint
The seat of power
Christmas but not really
Where the mountains meet the sea
At school one day on a lark
Christmas for real this time
New Year’s for sure
With a porch swing
In the mailbox
Around every corner
God knows where else I’ve forgotten
I grew honest
I grew proud
He was there and you were where?
