strung
August 25, 2010
i had a dream
your skin was ten times silk
and grabbing you was
like grabbing heaven’s clouds
but it wasn’t true
and you like it that way,
anyway
on my ride home from work
i watched a jogger’s ass as i
passed
by
and thought all these sweet things
that grew stale in the air
and then there was all that decay
around me and
then
i knew its rate
A Heavy Sigh
August 14, 2009
A heavy sigh
Two tired eyes
They carry me to bed.
A long yawn
The straining squint
And my reluctance gives.
Weighted eyelids
With slowed speech
No way I can resist.
So for now
Sleep take me
To you, I submit.

Beneath warm covers.
(this restless world never stops)
I could sleep forever.
Five More Minutes
May 22, 2009
I should have gotten up.
Just five more minutes I said
I hit the snooze button
and rolled over in bed.
All I need is five more minutes.
So I went back to sleep instead.
for the chains i drag with me
September 30, 2008
i am so tired
of the trading of paper
and the loving of traitors
and the words that they staple
words oh so hateful
to the trees made of maple
ever so faithful
and i am so tired
of the silence pervasive
after the laughs have all faded
the glances we traded
i hope i can save it
wont try to escape it
or find love belated
and i am so tired
and probably always will be
for the chains i drag with me
but it is very tiring
September 5, 2008
i write most of these lies
with the most truth i have
and the most mind i can muster
and the very most saddest
of laughs
i write all of these lines
for the white space they break
i write ’till the sky goes black
and the earth itself starts
to shake
