Fingerprints & Footsteps

I'll see you in all of the places
I suppose
In both the tough and simple spaces
I know
I expect every mile
And mountain
Each roadside diner
And map dot 
Holds
The possibility and the not 
Of you
The pedestal and the truth
Of you
Had I the insight
To the strength of your tarnish
Would I have walked life
Alone
I can't know
Would that you'd see me
In all of the places
I've touched, but I know
You'll choose the not

In Love

It isn’t
It can’t be
It is though
And will be

A lifetime
Of melting
Of twisting
And cracking

I want out 
I want in
The all-heart
And tough chin

No side-step
No fast-track
I’m left here
And staying
