Ode to Love

Your all I’ve ever wanted

now and back then.

My mama said I should

write you letters.

We never spoke the same

never speaking.

My mama said I should

write love letters.

I’ll write them now-

babe it’s too late.

She has a kid and

a nice guy.

I’ll write them now-

for me.

Ghost Ship

Blind minds find

shelter

under criticism. Critical

mass solution to blind peers paired

pairing hope and loss.

It wasn’t supposed to blow. Row slow-

ly down towards the solution. Black

sea ~tainted ~drowning

past pairs peeling away

 

until you reach the end.

A greeting sign that reads

“Free yourself”

Stranded

I can’t remember when it happened.

When I became obliviously​ cold to the warmth around. When emotion

was an option. I use to be human.

Feeling the air between each strand of hair across my scalp like a childhood memory, it’s unclear.

I can’t remember when it happened.

Mile 50

Bless your soul

your weary tears have traveled

a great distance.

A great feet, no matter how tragic.

The marathon runner they called it.

Shouting from cracked windows

down at busy streets

“You can’t do this”.

Your weary tears have

traveled a great distance

and they’re in the final lap.
