CrabbyCement

And like crabgrass

You found that

One crack in

My cement and

Wheedled your way

Into my heart

Never the same

For now you

Are here giving

Me your color

Joined we are

Together we’ll be

One just solid

The other beautiful

Fuckery

There’s your pretense

Like sterling silver

Something precious gilded

Onto something cheap

Giving it value

There’s your opinion

Ignorance bonded with

Idiocy there’s your

Charade incapable of

Explanation and instead

Showing hand signals

Like a third

Base coach to

A hitter now

I don’t even

Know whom I

Loved because you

Don’t seem to

Be true why

Must I settle

For your fuckery

Duck

Like a duck

On a pond

I spied you

There sitting in

The marsh pretending

To be the

Trees I heard

Your heart race

Smelling your breath

Fly I will

Giving you thrills

Shoot me you

May not because

I’m free you’re

The wet one

Pretending to be

Something else hoping

To take me

Down by surprise

FoundLove

You never find

What you seek

In the place

That you look

Lost things show

Up in unlikely

Places and often

Aren’t what you’re

Looking for but

Instead need so

Goes love try

Not to look

For a type

But instead be

Happy for it

That you’ve found

Heart (for little Ben)

Today my heart

Sings and yet

Is sad a

Young child gets

A new heart

Today but that

Means another lost

Theirs remember that

When you give

Your heart to

Someone else you

Lose your own
