When I was poor you fed me words of encouragement. When I was young you held me accountable and true. When I was gone you called me

Somewhere in the loose change you find it- your brokenness. Somewhere in the soapy bath water you feel it- your uncleanliness. Somewhere in the setting sun you see it- you're ending. Nowhere in your life can you fathom it- your importance.

When Thinking.

Somewhere in the loose change you find it- your brokenness. Somewhere in the soapy bath water you feel it- your uncleanliness. Somewhere in the setting sun you see it- you're ending. Nowhere in your life can you fathom it- your importance.

Somewhere, under the bent branches, heavy with snow, waits a whisper. A whisper of all that space has seen- the wolf sifting slowly through drifts of snow. the deer pausing, alert and eying the depths of the wood. centuries of life moving through this clearing. And the wind will come. And the wind will carry the whisper. Carry it to the ear of a poet that will write the wolf to life, and lower, once again, the deer's head to graze. And the centuries that had lived in that clearing will be given words and life. And the centuries more will hear the whisper and know the clearing.

The Clearing.

Somewhere, under the bent branches, heavy with snow, waits a whisper. A whisper of all that space has seen- the wolf sifting slowly through drifts of snow. the deer pausing, alert and eying the depths of the wood. centuries of life moving through this clearing. And the wind will come. And the wind will carry the whisper. Carry it to the ear of a poet that will write the wolf to life, and lower, once again, the deer's head to graze. And the centuries that had lived in that clearing will be given words and life. And the centuries more will hear the whisper and know the clearing.

'Give us this day', just this day. No more. 'Give us this day', my only love. Only her. Just this day. Tomorrow's are foolish. Full of nothings. This day, this one with this One. That's all. 'Give us' my love, my friend, my wife, my life, the mother, my only. 'This day'. Just this.

In Reverence of One Love.

'Give us this day', just this day. No more. 'Give us this day', my only love. Only her. Just this day. Tomorrow's are foolish. Full of nothings. This day, this one with this One. That's all. 'Give us' my love, my friend, my wife, my life, the mother, my only. 'This day'. Just this.

I loved you the other day as I watched you die. And still today, as you cheat death, I love you the same. You live like anyone else- dying with each exhalation. And I watch you die, each day. I feel the time we share slip past. I feel the heart that beats lose out. I feel the idea of us grow slight. I watched you dying today- sleeping soundly as I cinched my tie- sheets pulled tight as if an image of sound contentedness. I watched you dying today- somewhere in you, a dream. Somewhere in you, a heart beating- carrying you along like the rhythm of a drum. I watched you dying today- as I died along with you in time.

How We Die, Always.

I'm not writing for you, you reader. How could I? I'm not writing to prove myself. I know already. I'm only writing. To tell the pen to work. To tell the cursor to never blink a breath. To tell something I cannot tell the disappointed clerk, or disillusioned worker, or disheartened lover. To write. To add permanence to an otherwise irretrievable thought that will be lost, I know it will, like the passion, the illusion, the heart.

It's the ship of she, and she, and she that I need to steady. But I am only this one man, and father to all three. And I'm only half sure I'm half right half the time. But she, and she, and she- trust me. Trust me, they do. I see it in their eyes their smiles their sleep. And I'm only thinking about what happened today and guessing about tomorrow. But still they love me. I feel she, she, and she always will. And I feel the weight of this steady, though heavy and I'll never hold. And the she, and the she, and the she, of ships will trust in the things they're told. But how do you steady the she and she, And the she she'll grow to be? Whoever never taught me owes me an explanation. I'll steady her the best I can, and know at the very least, the ships of she, and she, and she will get the best of me.
