If We Were Alive Again
would we wake
from our never-ending slumper
when the world shakes and tears?
were we alive, were we walking
where would we be? where would we go?
would you offer me your hat against the rain? -
rockin on
doesn't matter how hard it is to get up
doesn't matter how much you sleep through your alarm
you wake up and punch the sun
scream, "I'M ON MY WAY!" and hop out of bed
keep rockin, rockin on
your limbs feel heavy from fatigue -
practice room
bells ringing
off-beat, off-tempo
piano keys answering
it doesn't sound like music
no
dissociating
girth of a heavy cello swing
not exactly unwelcome
foreboding
a timpani hit
quick dash of the keys -
Were Deer Predators
were deer predators,
what would be the fate of hunters trapped alone in the woods?
with naught but their gun and bright orange hats
camouflaged against the trees or their stands
you think you've gotten lucky, a doe passing by you -
Q
you know, i never meant to say anything to you.
it just happened, those little flashes of eye contact
when i'd find that you were looking at me across the room while our teacher read
it was a good poem, porphyria's lover -
day
golden hair spilling from confines of a braid,
shimmering skin pale against the darkness of mine
your eyes are closed, but i know the color that lies behind your lids
a beautiful green, tinged with the blue of the sea
