I blamed you 
for stealing covers
all those nights 
me here shivering 
whilst you wrapped 
up like a
streusel or ball
of yarn and 
I in darkness 
searching in vain 
for the end 
to unravel but 
even now in
your absence linens
behave the same 
they and I
will never forget 

We orbit around 
each other like 
a planet and 
moon appearing then 
disappearing then appearing 
again like some 
little celestial dance 
I enjoy seeing 
you in my
sky when I 
do I enjoy 
the tug and 
pull of your 
energy upon me 
making my oceans 
move but if
anyone knows how 
to lasso a
moon please say 
for I am 
growing weary of
this eternal cha-cha-cha

We are all 
alone each and 
every day alone
oh we try 
to deny or
convince or persuade 
ourselves that we
are not but
we are and 
we try hard 
to deny that 
even when coupled 
we are alone 
we are always 
alone with ourselves 
and these brief
moments when we’re 
with others have 
never and will 
never change that 
they are amusements 

Peace is
that’s it
that’s all
it’s empty
and absent 
and quiet
it’s a
pond in 
the middle 
of nowhere 
rarely seen 
hardly heard 
never lost 

Some things 
aren’t pairable
says the 
parable but
are pawnable
for some 
people will 
buy anything 
especially when 
it comes 
with a 
song and 
dance said
the organ 
grinder’s monkey
