Verse after verse Verse after verse Universe after universe I search for you In words I search for you In unnamed stars I know I’ll find you Among both of them As I love forward As I move Forward Forward Forward Through every line I write And every star I name

Stupid Questions
Reality (Future) “I don’t know if you remember…” He went on to describe a conversation placed in the core of our collective memory. He acted like we both didn’t know in that moment that the moment we were living in, in that version of the present, would be cataloged and used in future references becauseContinue reading “Stupid Questions”
Where do I live
Where do I live in your heart and your head? In a tomb all cased up you won’t open again? Or do I reside in a garden of neurons that blossom and grow all over the brain, that migrate for Winter to a warmer, throbbing space. One that carries my memory to the rest ofContinue reading “Where do I live”
The Return
In that funny liminal space between awake and asleep I tuned in to the tail end of our time together with ease. Like when your favorite movie is on TV and you know you’ve missed almost all of it, but you keep it on anyway. No need to change the channel. I didn’t know howContinue reading “The Return”
Penny Talk
You left over 900 pennies in a bag by the door when you left. That was a year ago.

Flame or ember, soot or cinder
In front of fire I read what you wrote where scattered words were not contained by lines chaos drenched in lead and heavy inked footnotes lie disregarding truth where it was signed From what I can decipher you end with something in French or maybe Catalan a morsel of the long forgotten myth youContinue reading “Flame or ember, soot or cinder”
Lagoon
You are the murky waters right beyond the land that lies between us. I am your lagoon. We share a piece of Earth, but you never let me spill over onto your side of things. I peer over when I can; I stand on the balls of my feet, I stretch my neck the wayContinue reading “Lagoon”
(4567)
These last four installments of the series told me they’d prefer to be presented together. (4) You were the fourth reason I went to Emerson. The first three were purely academic, and I honestly didn’t know you would be there until after I already got in. Plus they say college is where you findContinue reading “(4567)”
