nowwhatnow

I keep 
pushing and
pushing and
pushing this
thing down
trying to
put it
back in
but this
thing that
I am
doesn’t fit
into the
thing that
I was
and now
it’s free
and now
what now

Anymore

And now 
when this
isn’t anymore
may I
remember you
like this
for then
like this
won’t be
here anymore
and already
now I’m
missing it

Darkness

Darkness moves 
my desire
from thought
to deed
but when
darkness stalls
never starts
a rock
remains rock
when missing
its flint
no strike
no flash
no flame
just cold
dark stone

Became

And as
sip became
secret as
whisper became
laughter when
laughter became
kiss and
kiss became
true we
knew I
knew you
knew too

IntoMorning

I slid
away quietly
and went
thinking alone
making coffee
I felt
two hands
slowly sliding
pulling me
back and
onto front
then kiss
then whisper
then turn
into morning
