Cold metal

I miss the days when it was a act of criminal to touch
the railings at the public library.
I miss the days when you sighed and said it's ok when it wasn't.
I miss the days when we could sit silently and say nothing and still know we're not mad,
at each other,
or both at me. 
I miss the days.
days, ha, 
I only remember the nights,
when the sun goes down and I'll stand,
shivering and feeling more alive then I did,
in the past.
days.
I don't really know if I missed them.
or if i'll ever really miss them.

  • mancini and mood lighting

    a symphony of saxophone and jazzy drums plays

    for a crowd of men in wide collared shirts and women in boxy dresses

    in their hands are drinks

    martinis and manhattans 

    with glistening ice cubes inside their glasses

  • proximity

    we're so close. 

     

    I am wrapped in the touch of another 

    suspended in a state of contentment

    and soft safety. 

     

    the lights in my room are warm

    and in the mirror 

  • kid

    where the soft grass meets the sea

    is where you'll find her

    for eternity now. 

     

    young and alive in vivid shades

    of every color
