I dreamt that
my ex husband
asked me to
go look at
homes with him
no not for
us only him
it was then
that I knew
that like me
who’d long ago
let go of
that our house
that he too
was also ready
the most generous
thing that anyone
can ever do
for another is
to bestow the
gift of time
though all of
us accept the
notion of 24
hours hearts do
tend to take
their own sweet
time to heal

After
There’s plenty
of room
in Heaven
it is
Earth we
have to
worry about
and none
of us
are ever
free to
go until
we have
finished what
we started
Then
One more hour
just one more
that I dread
not that I
dread you here
it’s the you
not I do
no matter how
I keep the
dogs of then
at bay no
matter how many
I chase off
then will find
their way in
dragging you off
then always wins
it always wins
NowHow
I do
I think
that I
am crazy
because explain
how and
never why
I know
the why
the why
never changes
it has
never changed
and I
find myself
right back
here every
time because
I keep
chasing it
so keep
the why
just tell
me how
how now
now how
DarkLight
I recently switched
from something darker
to something lighter
I used to
enjoy darker things
like humor and
rooms like outlook
and disposition like
coffee and cigars
even my days
I preferred darker
But now it’s
light for me
light roast and
light beer light
skies and light
toast it’s clear
to me now
that darkness has
its place and
lightness another dark
when you feel
and light when
you can see
