Breathe in, Bleed out
There is a place where things go when they vanish. When something vanishes, it is different than when it is displaced due to carelessness. Something vanishes and you wake up in the middle of the night trying to make it fit, or at least I do. I wake up and remember that maroon sweater. The late night phone conversations. I remember you. All of you ( Read more... ) -
Home
You swept away the crumbs and
I am left wandering
by the banks of the Lethe,
trying hard to remember
the face
reflected in the water.
Strip me of my names;
their dislocated alphabet
will lead me back to
the way I used to be
with you. -
SECOND PLACE
My heart is a thing on a fishing line;
I can throw it out,
but I reserve the right to reel it back in at any time.
Tonight, I'm exercising that right. -
(Untitled)
The daily overcast: everything has gotten a little blurry these days so I find I am always rubbing my eyes ( Read more... ) -
Escape
I sleep, and it feels like going home.
It's the only time I can forget you're gone. -
What you see
You are heedless
in ways
that outnumber
the blades of grass
in the Great Plains
in which, if you've
never been, you'd see
a sky that leans down
to hold it's weight
for miles and miles and miles.
Into those plains,
lives have disappeared
for centuries.
If you're not careful,
mine might be one of them. -
It keeps leaving me needing you
I’ve done this so many times: late night phone calls, sitting on the swings at night, lying in a field watching the stars.
The funny thing is, I can barely remember what the conversations were about; I just remember how I felt afterwards. -
SCALPINGS
Excuse me for making excuses ( Read more... ) -
INTERNALIZATION
I am like a hot car engine
finicky in disinterest
and panic-stricken in making it known;
I am like cold air
settling into the room
and deep into your lungs;
I am like a sealed envelope
with a love letter inside
and a return address stamp;
I am like a cup of tea
with porcelain walls
and insides that are not stable. -
