baggage claim
she cut through her skin with a grin
as if to say
see, that’s how i empty my baggage
her whole world spilled out before me,
to her it was just another cleansing
we spent all night talking it out
over shots of rum
and tightly rolled joints
you know i’d never do this
without you next to me
right?
and laughter filled up
the empty swollen eyes

on this good earth
kiss me here
on this good earth
i stand here waiting
in a field of illusions
kiss me as
my lips bleed out
cracked on the punch
of loneliness
kiss me twice
for hell and heaven
my low my high
both lips longing
kiss me now
hanging over the edge
and be brave enough
to fall with me

a heart is like a hammer
nobody told me
your spine was brittle
made of crisp straw structure
hollow through the center
and your eyes were clouds
stormed with rain
just waiting to fall,
first tears leaking the flood
and your heart was flat,
the beating of depression
had lulled it to a bass line
of muted notes
nobody told me
to love you would kill you
and the touch of my heart
would bring a hard hammer down

its wasted time
some say its wasted time
but they haven't written a word
they haven't struggled over
the placement of a comma
they don't know the difference
between “a” and “the”
they haven't searched for a vein
to insert the pen
to pull out the blood
to write with their life on the line
... i wrote the words “ i love you “
and i still haven't recovered

on a Sunday morning
i woke up today with something to say
but you were not here to hear it
i wanted to say “ Good-morning “
and kiss your lips
and stroke your hair
i wanted to say “ What did you dream? “
and laugh or cry
and smile with you
i wanted to say “ I love you “
and have you say it back to me
its Sunday morning
its 10:35
but you are not here
just a yawn
and silence
