Composed on a run
With autopilot turned on
And an old love song
Quick little poems
With no start, nor a clear end
Grown just in my head
In a cozy nook
Not unwritten, but unsaid

He waits each year
For that one week of the summer
Where he can feel freeAnd finally be himself
Kin among kinFinding safety in their differences
He watches the young ones -

In the hearts we have learned to draw
beat our brilliance through persistence
and the way how even when we feel
as if our lungs have been shattered,
what was left of our love blown

if yesterday
was today
and today was tomorrow
but tomorrow
today will be yesterday
and tomorrow will be today
and now
is later
and later could be now

she's odd
I've seen a penguin in a trench coat
Questioning the tide.
I've seen a pigeon on the couch
Licking chip salt from its wings.
