Here I stand
coffee in hand
gazing at the
early morning moon
up there cold
and all alone
like me now
are we siblings
you the older
sister and me
the baby brother
what wisdom do
you have say
I will listen
for you have
been around this
world far more
times and seen
far more things
than I have
what say you
as I thought
nothing but goodbye
see you tomorrow

Bench
At this point
in my life
having done plenty
and experienced lots
I am looking
for a park
bench to share
with a stranger
at first and
who slowly becomes
a good friend
after having lived
now all I
want to do
is patiently listen
to someone else’s
stories and songs
It’sJustThat
When will I
have the chance
to be the
child again when
can I stop
when can I
just stop this
bleeding
when will this
be enough
when will this
whatever this is
be the thing
that whomever you
are or will
be’s looking for
okay maybe it’s
the vodka talking
but uhm
*sigh
it’s just that
it’s just that
NeverReally
It just breaks
my heart when
what this is
whatever this is
gets overlooked by
those unwilling to
see beyond their
own desires for
me and unlike
a dog who
enjoys the meat
but really loves
the bone I
sit alone afterwards
aware that I
have been eaten
but never really
consumed never really
TreeVsLeaf
It’s funny now
that I think
about my life
how people admire
my own wanderlust
and my freedom
to just go
but there’s something
to be said
for being the
tree rather than
the rolling leaf
oh sure being
a leaf has
its good days
but having been
everywhere often means
having been nowhere
really really nowhere
that means anything
but being a
tree means being
somewhere somewhere forever
and that somewhere
is always there
