Peaceful, I protest against this morning,
grey and wet and dull, not fit for larks
I demand a change
no, I command the sun to shine
rise and get you out of bed
and give us something else instead
I like this not
any decent summer day should start off fine
and then continue hot

It's never quite alone.
As loose as Colo in Washington Zoo.
Upfront and deceitful in all its trials.
Like suffocating on air on a Saturday night.
Loud but quiet.
Hidden but seen.
As soft as an egg freshly boiled.
Like Tara to Sally,
quite but not so.
But side to side it’s like my thumb to yours.
Like Titus to George.
Like twins for sure.
All inclusive but with one rule:
DON’T GET BETTER.

Early morning rain
washes any weekend traces
from coffee scented Monday faces

I thought I knew pain,
I thought knew heartbreak just the same.
Until I saw the knees of a mother buckle at her child's funeral.
She couldn't speak.
She couldn't even scream.
