do you remember when we
were children, and we would spin
in circles for minutes straight
just to make ourselves dizzy?

that's how my head feels when
i see you these days- it's like i can
feel the world rotating under my
feet- every thought, every edge
blurring until they're gone, but
(luckily) this paper is lined thick and
your name alone
is poetry.
i'm sorry it's too early and i can't think enough for words.  i'm leaving in five hours to go volunteer at a camp for a week.  try not to forget i exist~
"hey dad,
I know you'll probably never see this...
because I never showed you...
not like you asked...
but this is what I do...
You have told me things I don't really remember but you have shown me somethings..
that I never want to do..
and for that I say
Thank you "
Snap!

And just like that...

all my words are gone...
the light streaks
on my window
bamboo leaves brush
like manicured fingers
across its glass face
i feel so still
even in the midst of the
morning rush
that my senses pick up
but do not assimilate
simply looking at each new sensation
with some careless curiosity
then putting it away
as nothing

I had a dream today
About someone new
In that dream I was touching
someone other than you
I
will
miss you
in a happy,
fruitful kind of way
because eventually,
you will come back to me,
and our fruit will mature
and be ever so sweet
on your return
