they compare it
to a hearth with no fire
an endless letter
a rouge set of sunset
-- the things we desire
but can never attain*

My bones became the
benches for the feeble.

A sparrow’s flight could
Take me off my numbness.

At least my bones are not
That brittle.

In amber beauty of autumn
I see my portrait
O my soul
Be bold it is gold

Hear me two twelves and I've displaced my shirt.
Pollinated four elves with crystallized dirt.
Syllables betray what a symbol is worth.
Twenty metaphors plus five ****** make three kinds of birth.

Crease in a place where no grease can escape.
Forty times corduroy equals one face.
Applied nine seasons to spice up the taste.
Cardboard ate silicone then left in great haste.

I know that these words don't make any sense.
The greater cost of my mind has already been spent.
Somewhere between Easter and the beginning of Lent.
Jesus Christ threw a fit when I couldn't pay rent.

Caved in on the heads of the poor in a mine.
They'll eat it as long as it's in common time.
This line is just filler to set up the last rhyme,
but **** that ****;
I'm a nonconformist.
If you like this then I'll judge you.

Today*
I held your shaky hand in mine
and wondered
what it would be like to hold your heart.
And if we'd ever trust anyone again.
Today
your fingers touched my skin like I was something delicate
and your eyes scanned my body not like curiosity
but like patient admiration.
And today
someone told me the birthmark on my neck was cute
and I didn't correct them because that day was the most
alive
I've ever felt.
