Everything is dandy
but I could be lying next to him now.
instead, my cold nose is kilometers away
from his bed, where our sleep
laden limbs would entwine & we could burrow under a soft mountain of duvets
kept warm by our body heat

(you said i was a gift, the universe owed you one)
cover my eyes with daisies,
make me feel like i'm choking on daffodils
say "thank you; you may have her back now"

winter birds
One of the sparrow's tiny legs hung like a broken branch from halfway up its length, I found myself no longer comfortable taking pictures of the dear creature, albeit he seemed as undaunted..as single-mindedly focused on filling up his downy tummy as his comrades (if not more so)

on becoming a monument
He said this place has grown old & I have grown old with it as we walked into the deep and shallow sea
...
life feels so full, yet there doesn't seem to be much to write about

Sometimes I feel like my heart's about to explode
and I might die in his presence
and how embarrassing would that be..

No..
If I was a sunflower
And you were the sun
I'd refuse to bloom
And you were the sun
I'd refuse to bloom

a prose poem
I will trade warmth for safety
this nothing for a better nothing
a less painful nothing
where forgiveness is no longer
an option and mistakes
aren't possible

laze
Warm Colorado evening.
Unseen mountains looming beyond cheap motel walls.
The dust, the clouds, the setting sun...drifting slowly in different directions.
The only skeleton i carry with me is my own.

October
The water was whatever color the sky was, but greener, and the trees were black.
Memories, like the shadows of trees, wash over me as we walk. She tells me about her dog, boyfriend and the house they're building. I tell her about my rabbit, books and more books, the ones im reading and want to read, as if they matter. We're so different and the same, when she talks it reminds me of the way I talk, & I can hardly talk about anything important without the cold wind laying its icy hands on my throat.
She doesn't seem to mind the silences.
