The day I met you

The day I met you

you meandered through the aquarium

without the guise of an

hourglass ripple

and all the fish(ies)

schooled about you

as if you

or your

shadow

wasn't there

Perhaps I was a shark that day.

Blood Red

I've got blood on my hands

no, just paint

but imagine it

trickling down my arms

falling color

red expanding

painting a vast, crimson, fiery sea

and upon it

I'd drift

alone

floating under a climbing scarlet sky

the blood hot ruby sun

burning

bleeding through a tepid breeze

descending

to land

lightly

upon me

Autums Fields

See me at days end

plowing autumns fields

in the cast of a casket

 orange-leaves

  fall

I see them

 landing

on my cool body

on the earth I plowed

the patterns of a graveyard

soil as fresh

and blooming autumns flowers

thrown on my chest

as days go by

in the woods

by the water

I won't decay

as autumns

 fall

The lamplight stood

The lamplight stood

phasing her

I didn't know how to say

"separate yourself from the thinnest of filament"

She said "what?"

breaking the silence

and our eyes met

We jointly put an x

though the idea

of our own future children

and thought

unspoken

as to how to fight the state

for our romantic freedom

Remind me to:

take a photo of

the library bathroom

The checkboard floor beneath the couple of urinals

add a misspelled scrabble game

photograph the line of sinks

and

outside

that sign that says"

(growing smaller in repetition)

Quiet

  Quiet

     Quiet

         Quiet

               Quiet

                        Quiet

Please be Quiet
