Reminder


We are not immortal.
Far from it
Fragile.

Oh Hello Again


12/09/2014
You had been the stuff of my poems, immortalized in my literature.
I had forgotten you were real.

Bail Out


12/01/2014
At the first sign of reality, I start tossing all hopes out the window. I look out and watch them fall south of my heart, then dip my head back inside before I can hear the sound of them breaking.

Poison

10/22/2014
I think our hands are poison.
We lay our hands in the water
And contaminate streams.

I watch the heart of the ocean turn black
And the surrounding trees die by the riverside
Thirsty roots desperately crawl towards the edge of the water
Drained ever bone dry
At the touch of ironic moisture.

I wonder what did we do?
And where did it all go wrong?
When all we started with was love
