And watching you
ironing your clothes
ironically I’m thinking
about the wrinkles
I will make
when you’re finished
prior to leaving
making people wonder
if you’d slept
in them when
in fact we
both recently had
Month: October 2023
WisdomSaid…
Wisdom speaks into the
mystery that I am
It knows exactly what
I will one day
so when Wisdom said
that there’s no one
for me to love
it simply meant that
I must learn to
love myself in aloneness
learning to be happy
absent the happiness that
someone else gives me
Wisdom said that love
isn’t meant to fill
but rather to find
a cup that is
already filled adding more
and making it overflow
love is then abundance
for an empty cup
can never be filled
NotAll
I don’t miss
all my lovers
those I do
kept a piece
of my heart
those I don’t
never had a
piece of it
to begin with
and never will
EarlyDenverSnow
A blizzard in October
it is unheard of
and I grew up
in the north Wisconsin
to be exact where
we know our snow
but here in Denver
we’re a mile higher
and I do suppose
that much closer to
angels when they molt
causing it to snow
here whereas lower down
others will see rain
thinking that its tears
when we here know
it’s a little piece
of Heaven this snow
brief as it is
Drifts
Sitting here with coffee
gazing at nights snowfall
I now hear the
growl of the snowplows
piling snow into corners
like security guards keeping
fans and morbid onlookers
from stars and accidents
and like I did
when I piled your
things at the door
after I found those
texts on your phone
