i miss you most on mornings- a random thought straying some familiar, something recalls you from a place that no longer exists i blunder through memory some days- some mornings  before the blurring day begins i sit here, alone with you

these words are bones rattling in my fist, pennies tossed in faith - i used to believe in  something after this, broken promise, another life  now post-modern thoughts almost kisses on cold reflection,  breath is relative, love a dead relation i’d wish back  if water was the kind to give to hope, live again in these shaky hollows resonating with how i’m made of, countless little pieces

i don’t write poems anymore.  i think about it, but it never happens. i still collect words here and there, just in case, but, i have run out of language to convey them. this new reality feels insincere, clinging to me like an indolent child. i’m left with a profound sense of sadness -closing the door.

turn

almost done  becoming the older generation  everyone i’ve ever known seems to have wandered away incrementally straying to parts unknown  living and dying, without a word

we’re all orphans eventually no place to rest our unattended heart drifters passing through ghost towns  -our days of ago, a dalliance  just around the next corner

Patience

Beneath the patient weight of Another days dutiful obligation. I rest my mind in the quiet streams Of a wordless contemplation.

And though my hands are made weary, With this endless energy spent. My soul has settled  among the stars, and holds my heart content.

watered down moon light into mercury grey, a midnight pools  the charcoal pavement  or silver afternoons  reflecting rippled memory  the soul of then, of now -of summers lost when hearts were broken much too soon

tender

nest me now soft into the day ease the morning light the fresh

opens my hands  palm up releases that which is not mine wasnt mine lets it go

sinks into that which i love and that which loves me

promise of spring

these januaries are stacking up. i've a pile in the corner. they're imperceptible to everyone but me, and i have run out of ways to ignore them.

i do sometimes manage to forget, manage to overlook the relentless calendar - flapping its pages fluttering, mocking me with a naive promise of spring.

we're all falling. some more than others. plunging toward nth degrees, ensnared by fashionable ideology, chasing the unfamiliar to its obsolescence.

voices clamoring repetitive, crowds of conjecture in sync. the faces move lifelike, but i no longer listen. re-creations made in their own image, self-replicating multitudes -heedless.
