Thumbnail (to Jerry)

Thumbnail smiles and

Two pups in

Arms happy eyes

Sang soft sweet

Songs of affection

Chatting turned secrets

And teasing and

Laughter what’s next

Only heaven knows

But I’m glad

I met you

Even this briefly

Nothing

When we started

We were maybe

Maybe this maybe

That maybe here

Maybe there and

Maybe then then

We were a

Thing a thing

Then and a

Thing there and

A even a

Thing way over

There but then

I realized that

Night that what

I really wanted

Was everything everywhere

Not just something

So I chose

Nothing nothing to

You or me

Wind

Like the wind

That brings rain

Like the wind

That rustles leaves

Like the wind

That whisks heat

Like the wind

That falls snow

Like the wind

You I never

Listened to until

Now when I

Don’t hear it

ThatOneGift (to Grey)

Sometimes life reminds

Me of that

One Christmas long

Ago when for

Days I spied

Upon that one

Gift nestled beneath

The tree knowing

That it was

For me and

When the day

Finally. came it

Went to someone

Else oh the

Gifts that I

Received were fine

But it was

That one that

Made that Christmas

Special to me

LoveDamned

Nights are haunted

By dreams of

Times gone by

Of swimming languidly

In loves sweet

Pools of affection

Remembering smiles summer

Warmth on faces

Are these dreams

Harbingers of hope

Or a dereliction

Of damnation now

I believe hope

For even if

I am damned

I am damned

To tread water

Remembering you forever
