linger, you
/ spin my breath like fire, I
/ burn dreaming, form
/ your name, a shimmering coal
even at distance, I
/ trust its glow

unassuming despair (the quiet /
sort that wants to skip to the end)

I have reduced my life
to voices and pictures
hard to see what

Yesterday I forgot where I was
edges blurred and then
rushing back like blood
I won't let on, but
I'm pleased to have
remembered the
old me

The problem with our planet
(at least what we currently face)
is one of ceaseless travel,
indifference to space
Do trees protest their rootings?
Do ants fall out of line?
Yet our minds tend to wander, it
happens all the time
If only we could focus, but
our energies disperse
how easily we trail off into
arguably worse
It's not globalization
or the fault of the night news
it's all the me's forgetting
the importance of the you's
Strike up a conversation, and
acknowledge what's around
how else will your new neighbor
learn to bake that lovely pound
cake?

Given the crowded
state of our world, you'd
think we would have figured
out a way for one half to find its
other by now
/ seems we choose to
chase after money
/ can't buy me
love

Time is a patient collector
/ eyeing its prize behind a
flawless tapestry of
insignificant celebration /
to whom we'll all
one day belong

the promise fallen

all the while

There is a certain fragility to kindness, an
impatient expectation of a return on
your investment
