One more hour
just one more
that I dread
not that I
dread you here
it’s the you
not I do
no matter how
I keep the
dogs of then
at bay no
matter how many
I chase off
then will find
their way in
dragging you off
then always wins
it always wins

NowHow
I do
I think
that I
am crazy
because explain
how and
never why
I know
the why
the why
never changes
it has
never changed
and I
find myself
right back
here every
time because
I keep
chasing it
so keep
the why
just tell
me how
how now
now how
Invention
I wonder
sitting here
just how
many things
that have
been invented
were mistakes
and supposed
to be
something else
like us
I suppose
having been
one thing
you promised
and another
I saw
RePurposed
Pulling myself together
side to side
trying to meet
end to end
I finally admit
that I am
a winter coat
bought thirty pounds
ago and while
still stylish will
simply never fit
this my love
is now us
we once did
fit that is
we’re both now
to each other
something that just
barely ever will
unless one or
both of us
gets given away
to someone else
Romantic
Ssh I whisper
it’s that time
I’ll be right
back I promise
your hands reaching
but I’ve already
left the bed
can’t they wait
just this once
after slipping into
my cold clothes
I lean down
while kissing you
I say lips
to soft lips
no they can’t
and as coffee
brews cup washed
my friends begin
their dance and
their song these
things called words
