Shoulder to Shoulder
I saw you today,
standing there.
No, farther back, six feet away.
You looked nice.
Your flowing dress, your blue suit.
I waved hello.
Wide, slowly, so you could see it from your distance. -
I've been Meaning to Tell you
Dear DD
In the seventh grade you made me a drawing of a violin for your Secrete Santa gift.
It was a wooden framed canvas and you used pastels to create the image.
I still have it. -
The Esoteric Sky
Past the ant on the branch near by
Over the oak leaf twisting high
and right above the blue birds nest
is the clear blue esoteric sky.
What substance is this made of?
This glass reflecting down? -
Six Shortest Months
Woah Woah Woah.
No way.
Really?
Are you sure.
Sure your sure.
What?
How can it be August when last month, I swear, was March?
I blinked all of two seconds, now school is in a month. -
Your face owes me retribution
I'd like to take your face between my fingers
And squish your cheeks until you turn bright red,
And smudge your gilded figure with such blackness
As I believe, you sir, should now be dead. -
Coffee Covered Glasses
I looked like a puppy as I waited for my friend to arrive. Standing by the window, too alert for a Friday morning, trying to listen and watch and check my phone all at the same time.

Healing Isn't Linear
Walk in a straight line they say,
They say you should have moved on by now.
Walk forward and never look back, they say.
Years.
It has taken me years to “walk in a straight line.”

Watching
I am up
with the sun,
an ancient plate
in danger of breaking
holds pancakes
and fruit.
I wait
I watch.
The earliest wakers

I Miss a Place That Doesn't Exist
For a long time
I'd have vivid dreams,
bursts of REM that gave me the illusive bliss
of being wherever
and the closest return
to the mind of a child

Empty Nests
Tell me we'll be ten forever
and I'll ride my scooter to your house
every day, and never learn
not to trip over the crack on your driveway.
