is it fair that she
should grow up underneath a
melancholy sky?
maybe not, but nobody
gets to choose their cover
melancholy sky
Is it fair?

No, Summer…
No, Summer, you can’t —
I’m using my heart right now,
It’s not yours to keep.
Let me go, so I can be
Right where Autumn will find me
To share is human:
a distant fortress
a distant fortress
of dreams that washed over us
in breaths like wavelets
that come from distant places
and carry us past sorrow
To share is human:
in autumn once
Felt, seen.
felt, in autumn, once —
seen beside the barren hill,
your freedom – and mine –
the wind that cool blew your scent?
it is never coming back
To share is human:
Spotted Driving #2
“Traveling these roads…”
Many friends I made
Like this one, while growing up
Traveling these roads
For, while life and fashions change:
Water towers stay the same
To share is human:
myriade
myriad, her names
we joined together fiercely
the many of her
and the almost one of me
and manifold was our grief
To share is human:
To Know and Reach
So stretch beyond yourself
Point your soul at all that breathes
And see your true place
If nonsensical this seems
You’ve maybe never tried it
