I saw you cry
When you walked thru memories
I saw you cry
And I couldn’t help

I stayed beside you
I hold your hand
Never seen you like that
Never met this part of you

Always strong
Always a super hero
Always ready to save the day
With a smile
And a nice speech

I saw you cry
You missed someone like you
You missed your super hero
You missed his nice speeches
I saw you cry

I stood there to help you thru a tough time
Thru a window we saw time go by
You remember your super hero
While I hold the hand of mine

In a deep silence
I saw your pain
In a deep silence
We waited for it to go away
At the end you smiled again
At the end I walked away

Beneath that loved   and celebrated breast,
silent, bored really   blindly veined,
grieves, maybe   lives and lets
live, passes   bets,
something moving   but invisibly,
and with what clamor   why restrained
I cannot fathom   even a ripple.
(See the thin flying   of nine black hairs
four around one   five the other ******,
flying almost intolerably   on your own breath.)
Equivocal, but what we have in common's   bound to be there,
whatever we must own   equivalents for,
something that maybe I   could bargain with
and make a separate peace   beneath
within   if never with.

they say that time flies

they are wrong

with every second that I spend

with you

I know that they are wrong

it is us that fly

it is me

it is you

they say time flies as an expression of its limitless nature

me and you have no boundaries

we are

when we are

where we are

we

are

always

they say time flies

but with each tick

with each tock

I am sure it is us

we fly

we are

infinite

“They have some cheek!”
A little twitch of the nose,
a little lick on the hands.
Blink once, blink twice, a third.

“I thought we had settled this!”
The hard, white pond makes my
feet sting, the square black puddles
tempting me to stop and have a drink.

“How many times must we do this?”
There is no more stuffiness in the air,
the night inside the walls has vanished.
The acid in the air burns my nose tunnels.

“This had better be the last time!”
Dashing in and out of the polished trees,
covered by the same silky white sky, making
my way to the large silver acorn that never ages.

“We’re going to have to work at this relationship!”
Jumping into the pockets of night hidden in
the crevices, scuffling behind the rubbery ivory.
I wait with anticipation for my yellow beauty.

bound by fear of the asleep
dislike of the light
make this spring song stop.
tinkling bells not pleasing
I am restless.
a broken cradle song plays
scratches behind
the lights are still too bright
the song on an abrupt end

I’m just 18. My hair is jet black.
And I want to *******.
I want to grab you and push you down and rip off your jacket.
Then I want to unbutton your shirt
With my mouth
Button
By
Button
And when I get down to the end
I want to breathe heavy
Heavy
Heavier
And unzip your pants with my teeth
Slowly work my way back up to your neck
Breathe in your ear as I slip my hand
And your pants
Down your leg
Now I’m biting
And my hand moves up
It goes somewhere, there,
And tugs gently
Gently
Gentlygentlygently
Until you can’t take it
Shove me down
Rip off my underwear
Because you just can’t take it
Hold my hands above my head
Just in case
And **** me.

But I’m not enough.
So once I finish my last moan
Your last breath
You lift me up
Shove me down again
Zip up your zipper
And walk away
With me on the concrete.
Because if I
Grabbed you and pushed you down and ripped off your jacket
You would be all I would get
Because
You
Would be all that I deserve.

Apple Cider,
pumpkin Pie,
reading books
by the fireside

Changing leaves
and a numbing nose,
a little bit of this,
and all of those

Time with family,
more with friends.
chilly breeze
mother nature sends

Scarves, gloves,
and raking leaves.
hug and couch and
sweater thieves

It’s my favorite
time of year.
Summer’s gone,
but fall is here!

I call it stupid
You drank before you drove
You didn't know your consequences
Could have such a great toll

I call it reckless
You swerved across the road
His Honda stood no chance against you
How could you do this

I call it selfless
You never considered the others
The fun you wanted
Caused the death of another

I call it ******
Even though you didn't plan to take his life
He's gone now and with him
You murdered a piece of me

I call it unforgivable
The 24th of any month will never be the same to me
That was the day you took that wild ride
And took Ben with you

i was drinking orange ****** ***** with Kitty
the mushroom cloud destroyer,
my compatriot, my downfall
the sky was purple and the grass was red
and we plotted the end of the world
we fought for dominance i lost
sat on my street corner
stealing kisses from
passersby like a magpie,
plucking the shiny buttons off coats.
  when I became the queen of sheba,
decked to the nines in brass buttons
confiscated corroded combustible
i rode an elephant called shiva the destroyer
and sliced long cuts with a sword into my legs
and the white scars were like hope.
i played backgammon and chess with multiple lovers
and they all lost because i was an impenetrable fortress.
I wore the red crown and stabbed out their hearts with my pointed teeth.
then i sat upon the edge of the world alone,
tore out the cores of a million and four  sunflowers
and watched all of the people riding trains
and walking in the parks holding the hand of someone else
someone who isn’t cold Kitty
as the violet sun began to set
i dreamed of what someone else’s hand
bones skin muscle corpulent sinew warmth
and I slept like an obsidian stone.
