When I am away
From you
My form drifts
Into something
More familiar
And less precise
Compelling me to
Again place myself
In front of you
And chisel details
Into that lovely
Bed of memory
From you
My form drifts
Into something
More familiar
And less precise
Compelling me to
Again place myself
In front of you
And chisel details
Into that lovely
Bed of memory

in bed with a book
I didn't get dressed
today I thought why
bother, said pooh,
and it’s probably time
I put such childish
things away

on indescribable grief (a senryú)
When I see his face
Still— [shockwaves], I'm breathing
With my heart...... missing.
Still— [shockwaves], I'm breathing

Polaroid
unspoken moments
that fade from grey
to a darker shade
printed
ink stained
and tucked away
painful reminders
of a life
that use to be
time seems to freeze
the bruised memories
that remain trapped
inside the frame
of a polaroid
that fade from grey
to a darker shade
printed
ink stained
and tucked away
painful reminders
of a life
that use to be
time seems to freeze
the bruised memories
that remain trapped
inside the frame
of a polaroid

Campfire, alone
last at the campfire
prodding old embers
breathing hope
to see if there's still life
flame tongues rise bright
like memories
asserting their presence
then
receding to a steady glow
the warmth of presence
lingers
prodding old embers
breathing hope
to see if there's still life
flame tongues rise bright
like memories
asserting their presence
then
receding to a steady glow

Hard E Memory
bathed in television’s glow, softly
caressing fingertips skim, lightly
trailing across slick skin, loudly
throated voices laughing, deeply

trailing across slick skin, loudly
throated voices laughing, deeply

SEMI-BURIED SHRINE
Dry humor
Dripping irony
Laughter that bordered on
Pornographic
Folding us
Like origami
We weave thru each other's
Traffic
Unfolding us
Like pool deck chairs
Basking in each other's
Light
Mind's eye
Holds these memories
Gift of merciless
Hindsight
