We float
On and on
In and out
Lonely and numb
One inch from each other
Punch through
This plastic air
This skyscraper construct
Of should
Or shouldn’t
Of go
Or stay
A misunderstanding

Flock dynamics
observe
straight line or curve
arrive anyway
Seems like the only way
of reaching out again.

Three words looking at the moon
Listening with eyes
I arrive here
Combing through the night
Looking for just a second
Away
Away...
Yes you may
Cut through this loneliness
As long as I don’t let on
That I need in any way
Away
Away...
Was there a time I was beautiful?
Come closer with whatever
You have to say
Away
Away
Please stay

I am still shedding the skin
That knew how to love.
They say it takes seven years
To be born again
No matter how much you burn
And
Peel
The cells that knew
Away
They are there
And you don’t have the power
Time has

I wanted it to be us
Pulling away from the bottom
Of the deep end;
But smeared lipstick reminds me:
This is only temporary.
They will only love you
As long as you are loveable
As long as you are good
I would have shook off
This dark veil
To see you more clearly
I would have loved
This world
In its chaos
Beautiful spirals in and out
Of madness
Of loneliness and beckoning
Over and over
A tolling bell.

The only thing that grows
is the space between.
You don't want what this body knows
questions pile up evermore
What does this mean?
Why don't you want me anymore?
On and on
this suffering plays
my heart is its song
I ask, "how long?"
it doesn't respond.

Things circle and sway,
threads bare and fray,
I lean in to hear you
because I cannot clearly say
what this body knows.
Questions I pose,
frames I build
chaos ensnaring
What is your trick called, "caring"
A lonely box for each of us
blue. steel. cold.
Now it does rust.
Now, another day is sold.

Have you noticed
birds are in the trees
And they are flying
And singing
And living a thousand lives
Of which you know nothing,
That magic, have you noticed it?
In the way your eyes know to blink
and the moon knows to rise
and the world still blooms and spins
It lives
It thrives
Then
it dies.

Here is this voice
it is just a whisper
would you turn your head
to lean in closer?
Imagination says
there is a space
where I am not a chore,
and a place
where I am not cold anymore
Reality says
there is an abyss,
where I am a water glass
that can't feel a kiss
as you turn your head
what did you miss?

The color of sadness
Is the blue of the room
Where I laying calling out to you
The weight of sadness
Is all of the ocean
Gathered in the sound of “no”
It is a harsh velvet rope
In tropical heat
Strangling slowly
Every fleeting joy
I have measured it all
In every way
Just so I could
Hold it there and say
“I will love you again”
