"cohabitating" poems
Jealously or sorrow?
Which one gnaws at the seam of a heart?
Pieces fall, imparting a hole so hollow.
Your happiness is an understandable part,
But how do I rejoice with no hope to borrow?
I was truly happy for you from the start.
As the blessing cohabitating within you joyfully wallows,
But sadness and happiness are playing a game using my heart as a board for darts,
And my judgement using my emotions as a soiled harrow.
At this instant I’m incapable of being smart.
I just pray to be called “mom” on a future ‘morrow!

At this moment
all that comes to mind
quickly goes away.
Only this sensation stays;
like clarity and blindness cohabitating
neither one nor the other is complete.
You.
That word,
takes out everything
and takes nothing to say.
You,
only for a moment.

Before I knew
It was you
There was this introduction
your grief
the autumnal decadence
Of death cloaked cohabitating fears
Pretense
Hiding in stomach lining
The context of I should breathe sharper
I'll be relying on this later
pinch myself and set a reminder
Before I knew
it was you
The world echoed your name
Sent me months of
Inhale, it'll all be over soon.
