#suspended
_I want to fall into myself - to leave should’s, must’s,
and need to be’s scattered inconsequentially in my wake.
I want to dive deeply - to loosen my shoulders,
relax my arms, and slacken my griping fingers.
I want to uncoil my imagination - to revel in a crystal night sky,
a cool breeze, and a pink moon rising.
I want to meet the nomad - solitary, suspended in a sky-borne
playa, and blazing a trail to infinity._

I'm sorry but I'm
Thankful all the same
I wanted and yet
You weren't above
The values that I hold dear
And as these values
Continue to slip away
Along with
Everything else
I do not regret
The choices I've made
I am not a creature who regrets
And yet I know when that day comes
I will

The truth can be a double edged sword
Your truth
Our truth
It tore a hole
A hole so deep I’m perpetually falling
Grasping for anything to help
To save
To stop
To change the direction
But instead I fall deeper
To a place so full of doubt
Of confusion
Of sadness
Of wishing things were different
But I’m falling with this truth
And it’s surrounding me
Like the wind
Like the sun
Like the ground that never seems to come
Falling, falling, falling
They say lying is shallow
Is wrong
Is cruel
Is evil
But I would’ve liked that more
Because shallow is safer than a hole so deep

I have a heart
That in my chest
Beats like a madman
’Gainst the bars
Of the gaol cell
That keeps it
Like a bird encaged
From its mate
I wear a heart
Right on my sleeve
That beats towards you
Like a bird
That’s driven south
When winter calls
And knows no
Other destination

Lying motionless on the sofa,
eyes fixated on the gray and purple cat clock perched on the mantle,
watching apathetically as the second hand
click click clicks,
stuck in place as the hour and the minute hands
sit sit sit,
as if intentionally to keep time from passing;
sit sit sitting
lie lie lying
stuck in place,
disappointment
click click clicking
in my mind,
so debilitated that
I can't even feel the passage of time,
the clock intentionally refraining from counting minutes so are empty.

Ocean wind pastel sky city swept away
Birds suspended floating puppets
Trees in twilight buildings
Dim lit busy urban jungle waters undulating
Waves wave when where whence I why
Eye see sea glimmering forevers
Drag on apartment glow worlds
Lofty hologram wish love here stay star
Beautiful things hollow center

making love
suspends gravity
and time
seconds expand
into eternity
we are
on top of the universe
floating
in the fourth dimension
feeling
the birth of a new solar system
amidst convulsive explosions
whose brilliance
light years into the future
may be observed
by keen astronomers
we do not mind
our system
radiates and shines
in its time
nothing else matters

Could’ve would’ve should’ve…
Didn’t…wouldn’t…couldn’t…
Ultimately…will you, won’t you?

Small child, hiding behind a harsh cut fringe
Fans her hand across the window
Feeling the brightness dance underneath
her tiny fingertips
So watchful
So fearful
She stares hungrily within at
the writhing figures incased, suspended
in interaction
Laughter
Anger
Life
The window feels cold, yet
she can sense the warmth within
and it fills her aching bones with promise
The handprints fades from the window
And the door tentatively opens up
The girl breathes a last breath of fortitude
and steps inside, opening her head and heart,
displaying, placing within vulnerability,
Hopeful
Unstoppably hopeful
That there'll be people who like what they see
I just want them to like me
