Backing

When do we run out of excellence?
Not everything will always be
Formidable where are my friends
As if they’ve all been murdered
Vanished or taken away
But to where?

This is going to come out
In a pitiful way but I always knew
In some cases she didn’t!
It’s so exhausting to be the one
Reminding the self
Of how unamazing we are
I could fall asleep forever
Snoresville!

Someone said today
Unlike others you have style
Everyone is so boring you’re different!
Man that felt thrilling I was
Verklempt and inimitable
To be sinfully drunk instantly
Passed out in a pool of you
My opulence you must know
You remind me of what
Makes it possible with your words
That I could be better
Something even genial
When in doubt

Maybe you’re attached to all the
Negative things that happened selfishly
In your earlyhood of questions
Savoring dark soups
What is not okay?

Fear if to be comforted?
Asleep now below the lighthouse

Intimating

With so much healing
To be done could it be
Accomplished in the same lifetime
Finding the hours to start again
Move in from the past
Are we sulking does it show?
Is it deeply foreshadowing
What might forsake
Unprecedented possibilities
That were intended for all
That was procured in us?

Say less
Say less
Say less

Intimating that it were possible
There’s not enough money
In the world to step on our love
Incomparable fevers and
Countless cash under the mattress
Whatever you find, you can
Have it all

Say more
Say more
Say more

All I really want
Is your love

Oblivious

Can’t see me don’t know me
Oblivious to who I am and
What I need blind to my truth
Absorbed in your own needs
Blundering like a bull through
Life and everyone around you
Spacey unconscious and
Totally zonked whereas you’re
Forgetful to the point that
No one else matters and
Of course it’s sad
And of course we have
Compassion for this
But how do we survive
Around you when you’re
Out to lunch all the time
Negligent emotion waves
Goodbye to relevant
Feelings that are not your own
So no comment
What knavery!
All the strength and respect
Our connection embodied
You wrestled it to the ground
And killed it! Because
You would just think
All of us want more of you
When some of us
Need less

Once Less

Nothing defines it
What more exquisite
Expressiveness
Than the heart letter
Inscribed yet inkless
A mystic calligraphist
Lip prints on paper skin
It makes the universal
Personal within travel
Past the gallows
Of our woes
Up the stairwell
Into the window of a
Writer’s love well from another page
In the crevice of your back
Or another animal
State of being vining
Capturing the complexity
Of a love with more richness
Lust and dimension
Unclouded just enough to make us feel
At once less alone
More whole in our trust
Understanding ourselves
Pressed between us
In a mass of
Penetrating light
