25/USA "it’s no use trying to pretend that mostpeople and ourselves are alike. Mostpeople have less in common with ourselves than the squarerootofminusone. / / You and I are human beings;mostpeople are snobs." ~e.e.cummings
In my dream you were a savior, who conquered the world with words and sought a painters sky that didn't belong to envious stars. In my dream you were the light, who checked both shoes before stepping in and smiled fearlessly at the monsters who dared to fall within. In my dream you were a musician, who gave bats gypsy bells that lulled the moon asleep and birds sonnets to keep the sun awake. In my dream you were the ocean, whose waves roared in an hourglass and tilted gems on melted sheets of sand. In my dream you were the wind, who curled itself around me and whispered stories beyond the company of grass. In my dream this was you who used to check both shoes (before stepping in).

A Childhood Play: Check Both Shoes Before Stepping In
Butterfly kisses in the rain and the universe becomes a waterfall.

Scribbles
Life was going slower than a penny rolling across the floor. In a palace glazed with porcelain-- pools of azure and gold-- And a prince far too young for the throne. Yes, life was going slower than a penny rolling across the floor... (9.13.14)

Stripped Bark
Drunk with anger were the eyes that blinked his thirst and hunger were his last mistake. As he stood at the edge of the world-- his creation in his hand made of glass that slipped between the fingers of time. And fell-- was his last artifact of perfection.

Statue
If the Universe were a man in a trench coat then his lair would be a carved-out pumpkin with triangle windows and a candle as a kitchen Perhaps we would all know when our time would come and death would take bribes as the devil coincides with all of the good. Maybe we would all have a piece of knowledge in our hands.

Knowledge
If only I could tell you how much the spiders on my eyes appreciate you, then the sentences that hang in the air would be pinned to the ceiling and the cigarette would still be unlit in the corner by the lamp.

Burnt Orange
&the world was small compared to that of hearts and flowers And poems were only whispers among the trees that you weaved with your frail F I N G E R T I P S You are the bright light against pale paint, the tiny curve in the corners of a smile-- the quiet S H A D O W S in the pages of a book You are all the beautiful things --if ever eternally-- (so slightly your life flickered) you are. (2.22.15)

if ever eternally
I will be a window and the secrets you tell with your lips. The sighs you blanket with the softest care and the breaths you unknowingly count. I will be the reminder of every second spent and every moment felt. A contradiction of your judgement and a compliment of your beliefs. I will be the ink of each unwritten imitation of every mediocre song. The scent of orange peel that trails on the extravagant curves of your fingernails. (3.19.09)

Orange Peel
You were young once, my dear. Twice before did you close your eyes for beauty and never found peace with the hands that touched you. Yes, my dear, You were here ...once. (6.9.10)

I will not be the hands that whisper across your skin-- the weathered kisses and cracked lips. My caged heart is not your drum. I will not be your stepping stone-- your weeping willow. (6.18.17)
