who are you without someone
to remind you
that you exist?
Are you a tree in the forest
that will fall down
but be unknown
because no one caught you?
The trick to being invisible is
not to do anything noticeable
you fade in time. we don't really
properly look at people
to really see them
we flick over their faces
grab the bits of interesting information and
retreat back into ourselves
like foxes stealing
delicious eggs
then we move on.

I need your hug
I need your smell
I need the things
that I think you do well
hands on my feet
hands on my hips
kisses on my shoulder
kisses on my lips
I haven't even seen
you and the things that
got between
[you and I]
are backwards and
forwards
confusing, no lie.
but we just couldn't go
back even
if we tried.
so to save some time
and make the pain go by fast
I'm going to destroy
my values with rhyme
and just try
and bury my memories
of our past.

and the wind came
and I was defenseless
for I had not boarded up
my windows
in fact I
had opened up
my doors and welcomed in
the creatures of
plague
I invited the leeches
onto my ankles
beckoned the water snakes
into my hair
and sat in the chair
I had wrought of
moldy river reeds
and looked up at
the storm and the
ark and said
too late
this flood
that man
they've gone.
so I'll
just stay
right here
For as long
as I can.

in my brain
there is a switch
somewhere
that I need to find
or my bathtub plug
at the base of my spine
to drain out
the full reservoir
of all this building
slop
tears, conflict
guilt, an angst
ridden moral chain
of knots that
is clogging
the channels
of continuation
for my life
path.
because if this
don't go soon
I'm looking at
you,
Lord.
And we're gonna have another
talk.

A.N: I feel like this needs a little explanation- I was a passenger in a car crash in July of last year. One of the  other passengers riding next to me didn't make it, and my arm was broken in three places.  The other two in the car respectively suffered severe bruises (both emotional and physical) and a broken collarbone/punctured lung. I have since then, returned to the province in which it happened for the first time in a year and I am still continuing to process the aftermath, in lots of ways. This is one of them...

when I go back
it is the same
and it isn't
I am me and
her now
we have memories
like two halves
of a lost
coin.
And I have the
same hands.
but the things
they carry
are burdens that
just couldn't
even be imagined
the last time
I exited this
stage.

I could never
write well about
the city
as if the place
completely rejects me
from the surface of
the sidewalk up
like it reaches inside
my brain and says
no you don't match
you just keep your muse out of
here.  she doesn't have the right
boots.
and to them I say
I will keep the green inside
til I can fly again
in a field
grass making
my back itch
the smell of everything
that lives in
my nose, tickling my temples
and reminding me of
where is
really
Home.

if I could only have
one part
my eyes
without that
a face like an empty
plate, who would
know me
how would I know
if they did
I can touch
and see strangers
with these shining
globes.
take them away
and I am walking
alone
in the dark
a stranger inside
myself.
