twenty

this is what it looks like

barren

blank

in absentia

Venom

She looks just like your type

The kind you leave eventually

because she’s not me

I will see you again

Stinger

You’ll do it to me every time …. … .

the pinch and burn

I

can’t

not

The one that got away

I had the strangest thought
as I pulled up to the stop sign

You lifted your finger as if to wave
when I signaled you to proceed from the
four way stop

and I thought
“What if that was a potential ….”
the possibilities endless
and the moment lost

Seven 7 21

so sad that I can’t share this joy with you

telling that you’re not here

Any present moment Apr 2021

Explosive parallel intersections

The days go trickling past
as the day goes trickling past

When I finally find myself on the other side of the door.....

Facing the precipice

Toes curled in anticipation
....suspense

or terror

To meet your gaze
awkwardness abounds

Feels like home

Both welcoming and bittersweet after all this time

nothing but
time
separating us

Except in this moment

Toria says

I love you like an earthquake crashing the world in on us

It’s been two years since I touched you

Yet I still feel you
