sleep melds
in a vat of night
the streetlights are deathly still

unperturbed on this black book of silence
tears tap-tap on your windowsill.

there is a special place
hidden in the space
between
your fingers
and the stars
you couldn't
catch

you tell yourself that it isn't your fault

but it doesn't change the fact
that all you can give to the world
is an awkward wave to a girl
who may be dying.

poet's curse

it makes sense, doesn't it?
if poetry comes from pain,
why not take the pain of every soul
and place it in your own?
wouldn't that give you as many poems
as there are tears?

the eyes

know this, my child:
the things that burn your eyes
will also burn your soul.
