Sweat pools on my body But I know not of it My mind lost in slumber My eyes see only a deep, dark crevasse Of which I am falling down down down I land on the deck of a sailing ship A storm rages over me My brother? He flies in to rescue me Below decks, he takes me I lay amongst a thousand worms Imbedded in their slime The ship rocks with violent turns I scream out in silence Will no one save me? I jolt awake profuse in sweat looking at the darkness around me Reeling in fright I contemplate the night What is my mind saying to me?

The Nightmare
Working so hard— like you're covering rent, that's a reason for you living in my head. Way too many careless thoughts, I must be losing my mind, just falling in love again. Imported names, I'll make yours important, then file it carefully in my mental ledger. Tax orders, clearance sales— buying into a dream of falling in love once again. Maybe a little ahead of myself, big-headed with small thoughts, filling up all the space that used to be mine alone, not alone again. Right inside my head, I find her waiting— someone who never leaves, who never really leaves at all. Falling In Love Again.

Falling In Love Again
Sapphires unknowingly became De Beers’ arch enemy. With their ability to move fluidly from tears of deep blue through wide-open skies, the waves of high tide, and pink sunsets as they leave traces of the day in sun glares on your faded indigo Levi’s. They are indefinitely more impressive than a diamond’s hard, overpriced lie. Just a shiny rock, an insurance policy for jilted brides.

De Beers Enemy

Evening Brush
walking a rowdy street tight grip on the leash streetlight lays it bare light pooling on my reach panorama:  the leash, in pieces Anna in daylight,  hands steady, calm and bright  embracing cracked margins —  called it love, her rite but her fawn,  beneath thorny shadows drawn  the same leash condemned  its trembling spirit wan broken—  yet a gift unspoken street cries, in sight echo through the night

The Leash, in Pieces
There are holes in my brain          and I shovel words to bury                                        that emptiness I look for laughter                                          that's not my own I search my hometown graveyard                      the spaces of your affection I'm flipping through the oldest books                      ******* in the autumn air; I cannot find the thing                                                  I lost There are holes in my brain but I kept you,                                        Heart,                     perhaps a different way of craving                                      wholeness

Holes
I chore by woozy by smoking everything in sight I chore by medicating and letting the sides affect me crying at roadkill by owning taking up space not taking care I burden by poetry by reading you poetry talking too fast remembering too little by walking alone     unsafe I chore by panicking at white trucks and appetite suppressants I didn’t ask for crying (always) at eight years at five years at 24 months at the always that keeps shrinking away from me Now I chore astoundingly by decluttering by choring myself cleaning and painting and feeling alive alive alive! Though touching is not a burden to you. Groping is not a burden. No-chore kissing and hands on my *** whenever and too much to be frank give me my boundaries my no's But you should know I am not a burden a task to complete dead weight snag hitch knot Loving me is not a chore. I wrote in a poem once that you didn't understand about a no one that you saw as yourself. I felt your beating heart then and knew you now it's true I can't touch you but it's no matter.

a message to your frown
the                                               thoughts in                      my mind         float                                                                                                                                      around until                                      they come                                   together.
