June 18, 2008your hands sound like the car pulling outJune 18, 2008
of the driveway.
the sound of a full suitcase, being zipped closed.
boxes being pushed to the center of the room.
tiny towers of leaving.
of left.
of
gone.
and now these rooms are empty.
and the floor
is colder, (no warm footprints.)
i remember the times we made love on the couch.
i cant sit on it now.
it seems there are stains, dips, and sounds that escape.


spoiled fruit.i think your hands forget my name.spoiled fruit.
and mine, are ashamed.
i feel something wrong inside.
miles, and miles, and miles
of curled up poem lines.
they make these
searching
hands
weak.
and my legs keep
asking me,
why making love
still
makes me
weep.
i am sick of these
desert dreams.
of these
sun-yellowed
sheets and cricket screams.

the treasure you leave behind.when i met you, my insecurities becamethe treasure you leave behind.
a whale
in a fishbowl.
i told you i was afraid,

i cant tell.
your skin
a layer of heat- a
sheet
soft
against my bruised legs.
my dirty knees.
please,
dont let me
fall back on that street.
kicking at pavement, searching
in leaves.
i have always
felt i find nothing.
and i go home
foreign.
losing pieces

I hear
your voice
down the hall, through the window, above
all those trees, a light
it seems
& you are singing. What song

are beautiful.
