Hospital

Time is temporary
Love is permanent

Wherever we are
Halfway across the world
Will you stay alive
Long enough for me to return

We were abandoned
We fought we held on

Nothing holds us
Like we hold ourselves

Then we hold one another
In the absence of the physical

The sun is burning
Brightly

I won’t sleep any longer
All the rest I could need

Will not give me the
Security of your existence

My gravity is a magnet to you
Before I was ready to go
You could leave me first

Am I your heart attack
They all say it’s not my fault

Protecting ourselves
From what

One last touch
One last kiss

Are we our end
Or do we assume
Too much power

On

How would someone love you
Not that much?

Not enough

Give birth
Watch you grow
Disappear

When does it end
Why did it begin?

Smoke rises
Into the eyes
Of the wanted
To be wanted

Disbelief

Not a crisis
Perhaps a burden
Only a seed
Formed into a
Fleshling

Becomes a whole human
Does it call you back
Do you let it go?

When will you wonder
Where your baby went

Now an adult
You press game over

Still their life is going
Where are you?

Begending

Our realities are made up
By the worlds we surround
Ourselves with and I find myself
Settling as a house might
Crackling and burrowing
Into the ground

Maybe I’m just tired
Of keeping up or possibly
Creation knowing full well
There could be more
In some other place
In some other way
This is not it
This is not all
That there is

Halfway mark
Feels like a dead end
Maybe all that can be
Accomplished is already
I’m not sure what will be
Longer or shorter
Revel in the new
Forget about the future
Fishbowl

When we scratch off
The top layers and
Keep finding our way down
Do we have a place to
Go or end up
Keep going
Start over
Keep going
Maybe nothing

Sweet voices
Of children
Just beginning

Today felt like
An ending
So early

Premier

A suzerain to myself
I’m goaling to be ground zero
Start with hello and
Beginning to look now
Past the curls into the eyes
Try not to remember
Any hurt from the lives
Before I have led
It’s like I’m living multiple
Past lives in one lifetime
My suitcase lost its handle
No longer hindered
By the weight of all the things
I have been carrying
I dropped it all, left it
At the station and then
Went shopping to start over
With new things new people
A different wink and stop to
Think for awhile about the
Coffee with a stranger
At the table in the corner
Middle day and the next
Morning could be seen
Amidst the eyes of another person
Looking through the same entrance
With new affections
