To get the words back
Exercise1
Stretching the thoughts further than
The obvious
You left me with a frozen brain
Fading in itself
The memories of before
Your arrival, are blurry
And the ones to come
Are left to my imagination
They told me it would fade
as I grow older
then I must be close to a hundred

Rest their souls
December 30, 2009 § Leave a comment
and as i look at the bottles
which line the back wall.
i wonder if this is what they meant
by their huddled masses.
my little life buoy arrives just in time
to keep the salt water from drowning me.
and as i lean back
i can see the moon smiles for
you and i alike
brothers in a miserable poem
written my our drunken dads
and the mothers who loved them
god rest their souls
Cigarette butts

cigarette butts have been erected like headstones
in a tidy row across my bedside table.
i creak as i roll over to face
the window, whose tiny slivers
bare the gifts of clean air
clean city air
from the lungs of many
bestowed upon my face
with the full moons pale grace
a long walk ahead
keeps my mind pacing
from wall to wall
from thought to thought
until i repeat myself
over and over
foreshadowing the journey ahead.
long strides
across the finish line
first to finish proudly
dead last in
this human race.

I can no longer keep up with the
Thoughts
That lead me to you
And away
And right back again
I take this confort for granted
And predict the worst reactions
To the lack of you
To the absence of most
To the forced encounters that will occur
Over the upcoming
Weeks
I wish I had more things to describe,
To write about,
To deconstruct
