alone you stand
staring into the pink horizon
i watch you
for a few minutes
before i step your way
& you don't know
i am there

from right behind you
i put my face
into your hair
& move my nose
down to your right shoulder
i kiss through it
& onto your neck
the scent of your skin
& perfume mix
as you reach back
& wrap your left hand pinky
into my wrist's black rope
placing my right hand
on your waist
i smile & i know
we're going
to be all right

pocket watch
dangles from
a nail

stopped at
the time
she ran into
the storm
& danced within
the hail

***

glass bleeds
down walls
to bead up
on wooden floors

roaches crawl out
from under dusty rugs
to battle
the light of day

bare feet move swiftly
through grass
knee-high

***

all i ever was
was what
you wished
i wasn't


& all i'll
ever be
is exactly what
you hate in me

collapse in half


**

the simple face
on a complicated body
the one i know
i'll lose

*

the fading
the fleeting
the disintegration
too many hours
creep on
without ink scratching
upon the page

i am
growing old(er)
