Poems
Apr 2011
if it's a whisper
There was a year in your life
when your music abandoned
you and you
found no meaning in your ink-
stained history, her scent ghosting
over the creased sheets
of memory. But when you ceased
to choke out the vowels
of her name you were no longer weighed
down by the heavier things. Did you
know it then? How you could believe
in something and still fail
to live up to it?
How there could be no meaning in flight
without clouds to gauge your distance?
