these ghosts aren’t gone,
they can’t be exorcised.
it won’t be long
they just need the exercise.

slow exhalations like a dead man's last prayer.
never settling gazes and skin which turns black with a lie.

you never once told the truth and never once did i.

There I daydreamed,
of melting in the snow
with the thought of you
thawing me free.

There's no relationship Richter scale.
No level
One _
      Two ------
             Three ^^^^^
Catastrophe.

There's no stopping these reverberations.
so seek shelter
until love can restart;        
                                    till you can find home

                              in a~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~still vibrating      
                                                                       heart.

let me rest
at your foundations.
the bedrock and granite streaking
earth.
let me trace with my fingers your
basis.
to feel safe and free
of your too cold hands.

i can write
a thousand pretty things
yet still be left
with a thousand pretty
nothings.
