look closely
in her face
you see a man,
you say
sure.
i can see anyone
but rarely do i assume
it is crazy
what a mind will do
can you
go back, erase him
see her
you didn't choose
but sometimes
truth is a choice
we come upon
like time
over centuries
rocks erode and souls soften
after death is the loss
to our conscious selves
we forgive and then
we forget
a little more, gives
he said, love yourself first
before it hurts a little less
and after all the longing
begotten
foreclosure
erasure
then we can be
coves
i walk into my bedroom
crawl and climb
rise above
the things i wish not to step on
run across
deny
i love you i thought
i think, i still do
but not the same
this town is not the same
and i am not that girl
she gets you now
i smile and suck dry
wrap my arms around him
when i say goodbye
and return me home
so safe in his words
i think i just died
rest easy here old friend
i'll always be me.

Chicago
It's like
every time I leave
you
is like
leaving a little piece of
me behind
the streets are so much
emptier
The pace is much more
slower
Until you feel the things
you no longer fear
The things I pray at
night for
to bring me back to a
giant lake's shore
Where I am beyond
much stronger
and yet so much more
much less invisible
Chicago.

bitter sweet
every time i cut into garlic
i think of you
and i always will
i'll think about the time we spent
re-running through the facts
like a split screen romance
and i'm your other half
but best friends
won't stick to things
like glue or partners with whom
we have sex
like an ax to be had
to this thing that you have
disappearing constantly
til somethings done-
until then, i'll be gone

love is
I want adventure
A sense of belonging
Someone to stay
Maybe
One day I will live in a house
in a committed relationship
without losing emblems of myself.
What extends beyond
reasonable doubt
Is it erratic satisfaction
that I'm after
