Poems
Jun 2019
a cold comfort
in place of a
lover's embrace
I fill my chest
with smoke.
I suspect now
there are more
walls around my
heart than ever
before.
there was once
a light called hope
beaming brightly
but that light
was just a trick.
what was once
a raging pyre,
is now but a
few embers glowing
softly in a
charcoal bed
of gray and black.
...it's not any of you.
too much given?
or
the price to learn,
at least for
something like
me.
I sit quietly in
a dark room
just listening
to: cars, planes,
people and dogs
pass in and
out of existence.
there is a pleasing
chill coming
through the open
window,
a delicate intrusion
of Winter at night.
a car locks,
a pipe bangs,
a door opens
then
shuts.
