the sails are whiter

the sails are whiter
on the other side is an
idiom in all

of the familiar ways that
leave us ever stranded at sea

i don’t know what i

i don’t know what i
am doing on my best days,
let alone the rest –
sleep is always over-
or underrated and never
quite the solution

time often leaves us

time often leaves us
stranded, especially in
moments like these, when

all synapses are firing,
but our bodies remain still

another holiday,

you leave me

you leave me
stranded, behind
10,000-watt souvenirs,
mere shadows of
shadows, compared
to the real thing

being alive is

being alive is
magnetic,
unwrapped,
blazing,
wounded,
penciled in,
stranded,
realized,
imperfect

the glass was overflowing

the glass was overflowing
with kisses, set stranded
in the center
of a crowded bistro,
so lonely, still so
full of promises

we fall into reptile

we fall into reptile
precision
when it comes
to what we say and
what we keep
stranded
in our throats.
i have long
stopped
marking the way
back
to yesterday’s
tomorrow –
but we will
drag it out
until recognition
is just a word
left unsaid
