Cabin full of books
I expected less masking
We are in the air

Cabin full of books
I expected less masking
We are in the air

The ice cream truck’s song
Accompanied by crickets
Bare feet, damp cement
There’s a concert on the roof of my house,
And a draft coming under the wood.
The light in the far room flickers,
Moths bounce off the mirror.
I loose sight in the steam,
I’m drawing a picture.
The loud fan is off,
Sweat beads.
The queen,
Sleeps.
Seeing aloneness
My fire never burned out
Blowing on embers

I’m cold and naked
In Remembrance of Me, The
I’m full of flowers

Friendship hides behind
Hallways of intimacy
Knock knock, I’ll be there

For S.M.
Two pairs of sneakers
Running along the culvert
Not loosing balance
I see her in the evening
the sunsets’ pink and white.
She’s wrapped around my night stand
my phone plugged in at night.
I’ve seen her in my dreams
even though I wake alone.
My fingers go on searching
for the hands I did not own.
She’d love my mothers’ sweaters
the one’s she’ll never see.
I kept all my groomed features
in remembrance of We.
My bootstraps they’re all hidden
her denim fits me well.
I focus on my breathing
and the soil that I’ll sell.
I’ve remembered to say thank you
and smile at the park.
I hope she’ll be aware of things
left hidden in the dark.

For C.G.
Muddy creek had skunks
Sometime in the morning rain
January spring
I’ll race you
to the bottom
of Love’s well.
Last one there
helped the other
succeed.
