why do you linger

why do you linger
longer than you have before?
what are you seeking,

as i stand in the garden,
watering my pepper plant?

the language of time

the language of time
is mysterious – for one
full minute, we can

become riveted by every
bird twitch, a turning of the page

you don’t need to scan

you don’t need to scan
my heart, line by
line, chew on
each
page, leave
notes in the
margins
to notice
that it’s still
a choose-your-own-
adventure story,
with some endings
more inevitable

i am at my best

i am at my best
when you are
reading me,
sucking on
a hard syllable,
brewing individual
layers for meaning,
gathering each
string for the
rope. together,
the words form
a dying animal,
ready to be used,
no discards
