Sitting in the cafe
staring out the window
coffee steaming beside me
I see Denver morning
after a night snowfall
The grass is sprinkled
with powdered bakers sugar
looking like dusty tables
And the railroad signs
wear little white derbies
looking all gentlemen like
There’s this one trees
trunk cast in plaster
While tops of cars
wear opaque shower caps
So this is Denver
Category: Friendship
Lovely
I am certainly loved
by four men younger
than me three friends
and one lover and
one my own age
Love comes in many
forms in any age
Most of us can
give love but few
can or will accept
Stinginess moves both ways
I suggest that you
accept as freely as
you give it’s lovely
ThereThenHere
Here’s the funny thing
about life when you’re
in the middle of
something you wonder where
it will lead certain
that where you are
isn’t the place that
you’re supposed to be
But when you reach
the other side that
very specific place you
were hoping to get
look back for only
then will you see
that those places where
you were certain that
you didn’t belong were
precisely the places that
brought you finally here
Trees
I see relationships as
a snapshot of a
particular moment with particular
people who through some
miracle of place and
time were at the
right moment I don’t
believe that they were
meant to last forever
Relationships are seasonal things
if one were to
think of one’s life
as that of trees
I’mGoingToHeaven
I’m tired of hotels
having lived in four
in these four months
it might seem glamorous
to some living the
hotel life but for
me it is grinding
like living in purgatory
waiting for sins to
be calculated waiting wondering
with so many strangers
all of us strangers
but me yesterday I
got the call finally
to move to Heaven
a small apartment overlooking
Denver and the mountains
