remember that year
remember that year
when we lost so
many… was the
joy ever worth
the long

in their mouths
many times before
spitting them out.

by any muscles
so the human spirit
keeps taking the bait

with you, i get
lonely sometimes,
or how i prefer
the loneliness
to making a run
for it – okay,
maybe only one
or two things

always find
you, no matter
how much you
twist, bend,
or fold, it’s
inevitable –
might as well
take a bite

when you are away
when you are away
the bed is big enough to
take out to sea – yet
the buoyancy of flight has
never been fully tested
