Who am I to judge?

I get scared sometimes

-------------

Bare matress, sliding door
Is almost shut to the window,
There was a downpour.
Soaked mulch bending bushes
Dripping drooping drowning lawn chairs 
And when was it that I got here?

Where Harvard gets us

Good god

My life maybe not so recent

Standing stove based, 
Alone among many.
Conversations abound, alone,
I am breaking.

I am tired.

Glove compartment

Brown hair almost black
Tatted
Whisky nights and
Smoking on the front stoop,
Telling you things only for your ears

You fade like moonlight.

Come in

I'm still young enough to have my heart broken a few more times.

Keep on breathing

I thought I'd been in love before, heartbroken before.
I've watched my family die off slowly, and maybe I'm selfish, but there is no pain quite like this one.

I will win.

Love is a verb

There is a sweet moment tonight
When the cool rain air sets on my skin

And you are miles away at a bar
Maybe feeling the same thing.

Nothing scares me

Work

The moon is fuzzy on the curve,
Holes speckled through
Then black.
I wonder if you're looking at it
200 miles away,
Drinking FranZia from a beer mug 
Lighting pall malls like me.
I wonder if you remember the weathered bronze ashtray, 
The fading red paint outside my old place.
I wonder if maybe I imagined you
Like the moon imagines an edge,
All fuzzy
Then black.

I wrote that.

You know that it will

Suddenly everything is euphoric
