What to do with
All the bits and
Pieces that
Used to be
There but
Are not
Not quite ghosts but
Haunting all
The same
Remnants
if you know you know
I miss the me
I used to be
before
...
U-Bahn
Relegated rats
Furtive Frenzy
Seats Seats
Solitary Seats
Space

Nature’s Remedy
Blow wind blow
From the mountains
To the sea
Blow wind blow
From the mountains
To the sea
Carry my troubles
All my puny troubles
Far away
Far away
Far away
From me
Far away
From me
Re-birth
You
Who make all things new
Who reimagine me
(well not exactly)
It’s me who needs to reimagine me
So slow to understand all the
Ways you
Have in mind for
me
Press me deep into your chest
that I might feel
Your divine imprint on me
(and my comings and goings)
Let me be fully
(and I mean fully)
directed/empowered/inspired
By You
(only)
Re-birth
Cotton Candy
Held together by
Sugar-spun threads
Easily broken
Fragile
Summer
The smell of you fills my heart with
Wonder and
Memory and
Joy and
Sadness at your
Fleeting presence
My heart is
Overwhelmed
Let me keep you in a jar that opening I can
Breathe in your fullness
Whenever
Whenever
Whenever
Outside
On the edge
Illegitimate
(according to some)
in both sides of the
Separate/similar tribes
Trying to
say/think/do/feel
the
right
things
(according to whom)
That I might move
Ever so slightly
Closer
To the
Inside
Of you all
Forgot
I wish I were one
of those
particular/remarkable/incredible/kind
That remember
Who gave what when
And who did what when with
And what year was it when
And where were we when
And who was there
Those kinds of people
seem so/are so
Thoughtful and
together and
grateful and
kind
(I am also thoughtful and together and grateful and kind)
But forgetful
Chronically
Tragically
Hopelessly
So
So so so
So
Dental Discussions
I don't want you to be stressed

Well you're drilling in my head
