I think that now
after the dust settled
what I truly want
is friends not lovers
I’ve had lovers so
many in fact that
I could field an
entire baseball team and
and now rather than
playing the game I’d
rather sit in the
stands eating popcorn and
hotdogs and cheering those
on who still want
to play to win
Me I’d rather watch
I no longer can
weather the losing and
winning lost its charm

PartsOfHearts
I have found that
the part of my
heart that I give
to friends is different
than the part I
give to lovers the
part that I give
to lovers is attached
to my eyes and
my mouth and the
part of my heart
that I give to
friends is connected to
my ears and arms
And sometimes only sometimes
it all just comes
beautifully and wantonly together
and I completely disappear
ThreeHalfSisters
Peace calm and serenity
like three half sisters
avoid most of us
until late in life
late in life when
deep sighs and memories
replace adventures and battle
cries things to prove
and places to go
these three half sisters
appear from the mist
of our most broken
never have been’s and
never ever will be’s
the three half sisters
only ever carry mirrors
reflecting to only us
what all we did
and what we didn’t
and what there is
now left to do
Good
Life lived experience gained
all is only good
imagine that all being
good imagine if we
accepted that everything no
matter its outcome is
good
Imagine what our lives
could be like imagine
good just as everything
failure good success good
broken hearts good too
What if all is
too good to imagine
good
HowIHadToDo
I had finally realized
that the ground beneath
my feet was barren
incapable of bearing fruit
so I laid waste
to everyone I knew
marched to the bridges
connecting me to them
and set them ablaze
next it was fields
and finally my home
It was then I
knew that everything I’d
known was finally gone
enriching the earth itself
preparing it and me
for the next harvest
