If you do decide to take your life,
I'll see you up there.
I'll see you up there.
Literature
cardboard memory
pointing to the mirrored river
we wait and the water
confuses everything
barefoot, choosing flower after painted flower
we use the crushed ink to write letters in winter
the distance grows, the river murmurs
light scatters from it paler and paler
and the flowers dry near a melted candle
with a small bitter flame that sputters
there is no more than accusation now
here, when she was here, then
when my heart in the open air
beats a moment
a second
before
this little girl sat in a box on the floor
and i pulled her around
now, much later, there, probably somebody sings
Literature
Caffeine
Lately,
I hate the taste of coffee.
Even though I’d grown to love it.
I used to swear it wasn’t for me,
but then I started thinking that maybe I’d been missing out
by just ordering cookies at the coffee shop.
And I’d asked you,
“How have I gone without it for this long?”
It keeps me awake,
Smells like home,
and gives me a break to look forward to.
I liked it so much I even started drinking it
without sugar.
But now, as I sit here
forcefully sipping a mug
of mostly milk and syrup,
I wonder if the reason I’m hating the taste
is because the reason I liked it
was you.
Literature
Horse Shoe
A black-and-white figure, pasted across the pavement.
I light a candle,
a vivid poster in the hall.
Cuts, and cuts, and bruises.
You told me about your 'basketball incident'.
Connect-the-dots to create something
you are not.
A drawing of a donkey.
Splayed fingers in many different colors.
A church made of psychedelia.
We formed it from chalk
and we played as real people.
I got to the be the airplane pilot.
But chunks of my hair fell on your brand new sneakers.
You didn't know what to say.
There's something shiny-
very shiny in your past.
And I can see the gleam
but you won't tell me what it is.
I would love to listen to you sing.
