Chin up and recall
Who stared at your hurting heart
With a false god’s eyes

Target
I loved that puppy
He had green glasses
Always a new, too-short beard
And too-high ears
The sass behind the glass of his eyes
Filled me with words
He’ll never know
He was framed
Nice
What am I made of that I do now see
Sweetness and zeal has not carried me
Into the arms of a steed-mounted world
Humbly before you, a mistaken girl
Cast your hand again into the deep fire
Include a prayer to ward off The Great Liar
So the next heart may see with clearest eyes
You were just hoping to help the girl rise
The Difference
There’ve been before
Decisions
Similar enough
I searched and said yes
The difference now
You have me
I have nothing
In exchange
That doesn’t scream silence
Cold and dark
all we are
A token
A tally mark
A trade for his timeA Right Path
A rescue
A reason his rhyme
Particulate
Don’t pretend
You matter
You matter
Don’t pretend
What Have You: A Haiku
Well I have these arms
And lightning-summoning lips
That thunder obeys
Best
Mama would say no of you
Too tall and all
The height that is
She would wish a finer dish
In thought and walk
And more clean-talk
Mama’s heart would break in two
To see my lumber
Beside you
inexplicable
The overturned stone
The crushed twig
Lying there
Go back
Go back
Unsee
Unwonder
Un-ask
