(2014)
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I hope this is postmarked before my death certificate is dat… but you’ll know why if it is or if it isn’t If you get this in time
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
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
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
