MoonBean

You have become 
my moon sometimes
bright and full
other times just
a sliver and
once a month
dark and gone
but I suppose
it’s still good
to have a
moon orbiting around
for it makes
this planet less
cold and lonely

Joy

Life is simple 
at least for
me cup of
coffee clean sheets
a hot shower
and a wink
nod and kiss
all else is
just extra like
those things heaped
onto hotdogs and
hamburgers and ice
cream turning them
into silly extravagance
give me simple
easy pure joy

Forget

Best to forget 
than to follow
for both paths
and rivers flow
not from where
they had come
but only to
where they’re going

Go

Sometimes it’s best 
to let go
to set free
better to unhitch
and unhook than
break for anything
ever once broken
isn’t going to
be whole again

Going

No word not 
so much as
a peep crickets
and rusty hinges
beg for more
attention bills to
pay do too
but you you
just disappear like
the gift never
received like that
summer beach novel
romance just like
that you do
maybe to the
bottom of an
empty bottle or
bag of weed
or something more
nefarious like kidnapping
or witness protection
but likely it’s
just your angst
and your conviction
that your madness
is finally showing
best to go
