if it were meant to

if it were meant to
be, we would
not be
so
careless,
trying on
an array of
camouflages, over-
thinking every
touch, every
response

do not mistaken

the difference

the american dream

the american dream
swerves,
stands still, follows
the rules until
something breaks,
and just sometimes
catches the eye of
another american
dream
and camouflages
to avoid becoming
a gauge, to be
measured always
against enough

truth is polished in

tomorrow we will stare

tomorrow we will stare
loss in the face with one-
hundred-and-eighty-one
coats of fatigue, a mouthful
of twigs tinged with
grief, rootlets shaken
from comfort, three or four
wistful feathers, and a found
string
. like birds, we have
increased our chances of
survival by camouflaging
our heavy hearts

on thursdays, emptiness

on thursdays, emptiness
creeps in around the
corners
, and i
lean over close – so
close, i could throw
change into it and never
hear them land.

on thursdays, i am
camouflaged from the
inside out, and i worry
about loneliness
the most – i worry
that no one will
ever find me

sometimes you write so

sometimes you write so
out of the blue
as if you have chosen
to use
grey for so long
that i could not have seen
it coming –
change
camouflages
particularly well
within a worn fist
