I need you
When I see you again on my streets after a long time, a fire rises inside me
Suppress it,
My other soul
Waves up and down and
Touches the limits of fear and goes away
Is there no place
My love?
Where you keep me in your heart
With love.

the fog
the heaviness
when brains refuse to work

are all the brains this stubborn?
or is it just mine that won’t work?

the words
I never had a chance to say
are eating me alive
from inside out

However brief

Everything was okay

Time
           steals
                     moments,
                     lost
              in
     air,
Memories
               fade,
                 beyond
repair.

If you came up to me and said you wanted me back
I would go
In a heartbeat

Today I met a jet boat named Desire
Killing time on the docks, crimson like cherry wine
It's been telling me of the corrupted youth

That nothing has ever been the same
Since they tore down the funfair park
Where we made a pilgrimage each night
To bury our most desperate loves

Now we all have a lover waiting at the bar
They steal kisses from strangers for fun
But Desire says he's been dismissive lately
Of sand devils and kindred spirits
Says there is no illness as stubborn
as the pursuit of company

may be as well if two buckets are bought

at the same time

not to keep them

one

inside

the other

for  length of times..

saw them on the way to montgomery by bus

& finding them cheaper than elsewhere  bought them on the way home

popped them in the shed  where they melded together well

heat and sheer determination eventually prised them apart

two buckets
