ballpoint trephination
blood and blue ink
run in rivulets
down my nose
and I still think
about you
every
damn
day
run in rivulets
down my nose
and I still think
about you
every
damn
day

Memory
It seems, at times,
Nearly a treachery,
To be so confined
To the thicket of memory.
Nearly a treachery,
To be so confined
To the thicket of memory.

9/11 (A Garden...)
"A Garden For Your Ghost"
The day you left, Autumn went with you.
It was Winter right away
-The city kind. Snow falls heavy, and gray.
Snowmen slouch to their knees in muck,
while I stood in the archway
of a cracked-face store,
staring at the sky
and waiting for the rain.
-Waiting for you to walk up
and show me that you're okay.
I know, in the illogic of my heart
that you've not gone.
You simply left to follow the sun.
I know, as I fall to the fate of sleep,
that you stir awake. ...

Kill the Love
If you love me
Please kill that love
It'll just hurt you
I'm not worth pain
Please kill that love
It'll just hurt you
I'm not worth pain

Wholeness parts from real
Eyes in pairs;
Ends heard all
The same
Eyes in pairs;
Ends heard all

Sorrow
life is a hard ship
adrift in the tempest
inside us an ocean of tears
ready to spill
never knowing what waits
to extract them

In The Depths
he’s at peace now”
“…in a better place”
after tragedy
there are no words
no one
seems to understand
saying ‘the right thing’
(meaningless words)
make the pain worse
try holding hands
or silent hugs

Don’t Forget
things in life
are often painful
its easier
to be angry
instead of sad
after awhile
we sometimes forget that
there is a difference
