seeking moments
to slip beneath
to take her
with his words

You’re right
last night
one time only
don’t tell my heart
it’s awake now
~
Can’t be her fit in
a moment here
a rushed goodbye
her kiss of hello
barely dry

You’re right
last night
one time only
don’t tell my heart
it’s awake now
~
Can’t be her fit in
a moment here
a rushed goodbye
her kiss of hello
barely dry
Rain tined skylight
frozen, strip searched tree
buds hardened, his mistake
her excuse, it happens
blue mirrored, light angled
hard winter, edged spring
Earth spins, all bets on again.
You the last to see
I believe so, maybe
You’re not sure
Is anyone with her
~
Movement, no sign of
Cameras, swivel heads
Moment of inertia
Her still, mass appeal
~
She smiled, or is it smiles
He heard, looking up
Hands, mixed fingers
Missing persons, maybe not
Can’t be doing
with do if you do
don’t like that way
yes, I see you’re cute
I read you, every word
~
It happens, most times
you know, just scroll by
your picture, your pitch
eyes linger, minds read
damn you’re real, good
~
So we emailed
bared a bit, then
we didn’t, well I wish
you, still here, well
you know, as I you
Her list
unused cards
boxed untouched
Past present
hark angels
known
unknowns
thinking
wishing
eternal hope
Smiles… he pulled a cracker once.
He’d fit in
not too tight
wriggle room
found comfort
in his words
her choice
he said she
can walk away
between lines
he spoke
another way
He gave everything… she thought enough.
Can’t find a photograph
that shows me as I am
no lens can see as I do
your eyes don’t either
