(2014)
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
There is a girl and I love her and I have loved her since the beg… Or so it seems to me as I only became conscious
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
The hands of this watch haven’t moved since the last time you did and I’m not sure if I’m ready to hear the ticking
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
