I take you
as a tonic
the cause and cure
for my madness

I cry
with my eyes closed
because
I don't want to see
you looking at me

dance with me
beneath
the daytime moon

love
laid itself out in front of me
and said
I am the answer
to all of your questions

there is nothing
but ruins and rubble
inside my chest
it's been that way
since the day you left

do you ever watch silence
it moves
in slow motion
& settles onto surfaces
like a layer of dust
until the wind comes in
wild and robust
whipping it into a tornado
that steals your breath
your eyes are wide
& your ears are bleeding
from a noise
that leaves
an inaudible mess

I saw
the shadow
of a bird
land on
the shadow
of a tree
but I never saw
the bird
or the tree

It's not time, yet
in the season
when you can hear
the breeze
blowing the leaves
for now
the breeze is still lonesome

the sun is out
the air is warm
and the brakes
on the garbage truck
are still squeaky

there are beautiful sounds
the laughter of a child
geese
on a cool Spring night
rain
on a tin roof at camp
and these
simple joys
are simply enough

my words died
in your hands
the day
you never said goodbye
my heart
doesn't know what to do
my soul says
you always knew

an open heart
does not seethe
it makes room
for God's purpose

it was striking
the way
your heart beat
wrapped around mine
before
we said goodbye

there's a craving
inside me
that can't find
it's fix

I'm a writer
who can't read
because
it causes me
too much anxiety

unplug
and sing me
a song
off
the record

I'm going to find
myself
one day in the spoils
of this world
and know
that I prevailed

I've been down the road
of sadness
and extermination
I've seen how horrible
this world can be
I've felt the furnace
and found solace
in the less horrible
which felt like cheating
but I didn't have
anything left
but tomorrow
there will be a sun

the night
is steady
darkness
prevails

what shall I do
with my light?

Heaven growled at the sight of it all
sorrow filled the clouds
and I'm between broken
and busted
without a place to call home

the frigid cold
fractured my fingers
I watched the flesh
crumble from my bones
as death climbed
my limbs
searching for my soul

I saw the sky
break
after lightning
climbed through it
the stars fell
like it was salting
the earth
and I knew
nothing would be
the same

#Poetry

one wink
from the sun
through the leaves
left me feeling
the bounty of this day
would be gracious
and plenty

the windows
of the building
were weeping
as if someone told them
they'd be lonely tonight
but as night arose
lights began
to flicker on
and shine through
the tears
like fireflies in a clearing
