I sit in my
room and watch the
cars go by so
many cars so many
many many cars all
going somewhere else than
besides here and I
feel like a bird
sitting on a wire
wondering that there must
be worms somewhere and
maybe way over there
wherever they’re all going

NowAfterThat
I really think that
I died in Charlotte
a part of me
anyway I lived amongst
bedbugs and around rodents
my food was stolen
my clothes never washed
Everything that I held
important was slowly and
systematically chipped away like
a toddler to a
brick wall and with
each passing day I
felt the bricks of
myself squeeze and fall
tighter together but never
giving way until one
day I pulled what
was left of myself
up declaring no more
With what was left
of the fumes of
hope and with nothing
but the will that
anything would be better
I boarded a plane
and flew to dreamland
But this dreamland in
which I now live
is no dream in
fact it’s my awakening
from the nightmare that
I had lived before
LDLTRelationships (to Jay)
It’s not the proximity
of someone that makes
a relationship a relationship
for there are many
people who live with
others yet feel lonely
It’s not physical presence
that promotes a kinship
it’s time and attention
The place where this
equation occurs is less
important than its summation
for any equation which
subtracts is always less
than what was added
Never worry about distance
for the heart only
measures time and attention
GloriouslyAlone
I am finally learning
to live with less
but in this case
less does mean more
I cannot tell you
how much less leads
to so much more
But refocusing your lens
from others to yourself
you begin to see
so many new things
so many different possibilities
for happiness your happiness
Being alone happy alone
is not the end
that so many think
Being alone happy alone
is a newly discovered
hallway chock full of
doors to where you
will never ever know
until you open one
Home
I have rediscovered happiness
having long ago been
taught but recently forgotten
A home that reflects
you a refrigerator filled
with fresh food and
love in your heart
This home my home
is welcome to all
Come in kick off
your shoes get comfortable
and only ever bring
your love with you
I’ll provide the rest
