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?

in the end, we fall

we can’t imagine

we can’t imagine
what autumn will bring this year,
and we count ourselves

lucky to be still standing,
ready to walk across that bridge

in the middle of

in the middle of
homemade yogurt
is a debate
on the level of
sourness we each can
stand – blink
once for five
kilopuckers,
twice for ten

there are parts that you

there are parts that you
will not recognize when you
are standing too close

and so, we stand back, every
now and then, refocus our gaze

on hate

on hate
.
on an appearingly
random
day – as far
as the universe is
concerned – i will
walk
maybe even
run
out of here, Jeanne
and i will not
stop
until i feel
weightless

just watch for
it –
each morning when i
bend to
tighten these
laces, the odds are
starting to
tip
that i will
walk
away from you
as soon as i can
stand
