waiting for spring
twenty-five degrees out & the air is sweet
with just enough sun to make it taste like springtime,
& flowers, & the freshness of the world after it rains.
we dance without jackets & twirl in the fading light,

firm on the ground, feeling the universe, feeling the world
so distant become what nurtures us,
if we could all walk only for a moment
without our hatred, without our grudges,

why i petted the dog on the side of the road on a particularly humid texas afternoon

I remember you. We remember you.
You used to come in every weekend with your mother and brother when you were younger. They made you seem like you were made for softer things. They used to pretend like they were made for softer things too. -
where it doesn't wait.
I keep checking
the places happiness once sat,like a pocket
I’ve already turned inside out. -
Improbability
Oh, no, I’m not here
For a reason.
It’s an almost comforting thingThe fleck of light of a chance
The infinite things
That had to go right.
