Good trade

small fist on
horse back
clenched tight 
a grubby grip 
round 
a lilac gift
bartered for 
Ice cream  
 with Mrs ?  
in a small town shop

Confessions

young and pretty
old and careworn 

both

she gave me perfume
(i can still smell it)

foreign and fragrant

tempting

a gift 
(of sorts) 

from

a traveler through
her used body


how did she end up here

(hotelier come escort)

no one told her 
she would 
never stop crying 

for the babe 
she had
no way for

so she told me
a stranger

New Snow

blue snow

Splintered

Splinters
Splintered
Separate
Solitary
Single
Confined
Alone 

Echo chambers

(of our own making)
Filled with splinters

(an algorithmic atrocity)

 Toothpick and marshmallow statues to our stupidity 

(gullibility)

Comfortingly childish but

Rickety 

Spastic

(and uselessly sweet/indignant/righteous/mad)

The common glue
That once held
Has

All

Dried

Up


Your playlist is so

Different

(from mine)


Will we every sing

The same song

Again

Blondie

I see your
blond blown out hair
everywhere

Is their dresser using the same color as you
 the same product
the same brush
to tame the wildness 

Would that it was on your head
Instead of theirs
and you would turn and 
see me and laugh and say

Heeeeeyyyyyyy
