To the Moon, in Absence

#poetry
there is a door
i keep

almost opening

a call
i almost make

a line
i almost cross

almost

is a quiet word

it builds
a life

at night
i list

the things
i did not say

they lie there

bright

like coins
i refused

to spend

#Poetry

we divide
the world

into good
and not

as if it were
that clean

but the line

keeps running
through

my own
mouth

i want
to be understood

but not
examined

so i say
half

and watch you
fill the rest

sometimes
you get it right

and i love you
for that

sometimes
you don’t

and i love you
for trying

your shirt
smells

like sun
and salt

i press it
to my face

as if
cloth

could be a bridge

it can

for a minute

a child
on the screen

dust
in her hair

she looks
past the camera

as if the future
is standing

just out of frame

i want to turn
it off

my hands
still full

of nothing

#poetry

in the news
a number

that stands in
for bodies

i look away
i look back

as if
attention

were a kind
of help

it isn’t

but i give it
anyway

i walked through today
it dissolved

each moment
vanishing
as it arrived

still
an impression

a trace
on the chest

a word
almost said

a shadow
that appears

only when i turn
from the light

Enough

#poetry

i move carefully
through noise

each sound
with an edge

i collect them
without meaning to

by night
i am full
of corners

Bonnie

in the end
she did not fear death

she feared
the gentler thing

the slow replacement
of all she loved
by what comes next

the way even a name
can be worn smooth
by being said

until it is only
sound
and goodbye

today
unbuttoned

slipped
from its story

i tried
to pin
a moment

the pin
went through

as if
nothing
were there

Proverb

the safest mode of transportation is decomposition into rich earth
and drifting away
with the wind
and the rain

what i do not keep

i think
if i am careful
it will stay

the warmth
the moment
the look

but the sun
moves on

and i am left
with the clean edge
of absence

#poetry

morning

light checks
each object

are you still
what you were
yesterday

most things
agree

I am not
so sure

#poetry
February 5, 2026 at 2:27 PM
i meet
today

a day
i might

have met
before

same
light

different
heart

we keep
going

not brave
not wise

just
moving

like the river

when it forgets
the bend

and makes
another one

the weight of days

you carried them all
unfinished hours

words
you meant to say

but silence
leaves fingerprints

and when the light
changed

you looked up
as if you had always known

the sun
was never yours
to keep

what we
never said

goes on
not saying

The dog
in the yard

barks
at nothing

and I think
about that

how sure
it is

how often
I am

we scroll
past a face

not blurred
enough

to be unreal
yet distant enough

to belong
to the weather

there are things
happening now

that will be explained
later

with calm voices
and charts

so no one has to say
we saw it

and practiced
looking elsewhere

I want
to believe

my hands
are clean

but the day
is long

and my pockets
fill

with small
excuses

#poetry
January 30, 2026 at 3:17 PM
are we
good people

or just
skilled

at standing
where the
light is

and calling
the shadow

circumstance
