Lastly

Tired of remembering
Waiting for the sun
To come in differently
Tuning out

Tell me more about the
Way of saltwater and it’s
Stinging substances
Against the lips
Dry mouth

How fortunate you are
To have the friend
Of best live twice in your life
Although they’re gone
Optimism shines
From the top dresser drawer

Piano keys are still wet
With yesterdays tears
Still the music is good
Even to listen for
Many years after
What an experience to revisit

If I could push lavender
Colored petals into my eyes
Only to see tranquil calm
Evoke gentle light from inside
Non sequitur moment
Invite a monkey to do it for me

Grasping at the edge of the earth
The rest is left to nothing
Cracked edges
Sacred treasure of life
Valiant dance to
Dignified death

Forgotten hands that
Once held the rest of you up
Resurface to replace the parts
That are no longer supported
Maybe we are relevant

Dial Tone

People that form bonds
And then keep them going
Over time with strength and love
Don’t do it over the course of
A three times a year meetup
To compare us to that
Kind of a connection
Leaves me embittered
And hopeless for a true
Lifeline in the friendship
I thought we were promised
I thought we were agreed
I thought we were aligned with
You can tell me that indeed you
Desire to be as close as you want to
Even the Gods cannot force you
To be close to
Someone that you don’t
Show up for in your actions
Over weeks and months on end
Someone that you reach out to
Only when it’s relevant for you
I reckon that’s a fair weather friend
You’re not a bad person
For being incapable or to pretend
I’m only disappointed in myself
For believing that you could
Show up for me in ways
That you promised not to test
However titling our friendship
With a moniker of best
But the clock ran out
Your calendar got full
Your life is chock full
Of everything that you need
No more hours to give
To others when you have
So much life to live

Ashes

When the phoenix rises
And the ashes fall away
There is a clarity
That prims the sun
Like a gong
These feelings are yours
But they were also
Someone else’s before
They were yours
When your grandmother
Comforts you
When your best friend
Comforts you
When the person you
Trust the most
Comforts you
And says
Time heals all wounds
It’s because they know
And they’ve been
There before
Falling differently
One day further away
Less defeat
More complete
I am more complete
We are more unique
When the ashes fall away

Remember

What’s happening?
Every which way
This way n’ that
I love how you love me
No matter what I do
You see me
Through
And
Through

Remember the time
When I held you while crying
Remember the time
When I felt like I was dying
Remember the time
When we fell down from laughter
Remember the time
Happily ever after

Your words show
That your heart is a good one
Your smile shows that
There is nothing more precious
Than the sun

We’ve seen every part
Of each other
We know every
In and out

You are my reason
Not to doubt
That pure love is
A truth
A sanctuary
For recalling
Our youth

I love you best friend
That’s what we call one another
A love to no end
Always gushing

The sad side
The mad side
The bad side
And still
Our cachinnation remains
Never too good for the other
Never too much for each other

This is bliss
This is happiness
We are the twin of acceptance
Raging with love

Remember the times
We have to look forward to
