p o e t r y

you are the dragon

l don’t want anything but your fallen words against the back of my throat and I’ll tell you I’m not on target and you’ll tell me it’s no bother even though you are the dragon and I am the water. This doesn’t happen enough but it proves that I’m always wrong especially on those long uneventful drives in the country. It’s fine if you’re not ok with my nothing as long as you send me flowers so I can take them to my sweet mother who promises me the north side because she has so much to give. And I want it.

x-row

what if those on x row had their feet

held, their hands kissed,

what if we bathed them in hope and carried

them to forgiveness, what if we put them

at the front of the room

and listened to their words and

heard their whispers, what if

we took them home to our beds and

at dawn they groomed our pets

and they lived their lives under our roofs

while we went to work, what if they did

their time and knew who they

were, what if we kissed

them slowly and said goodbye

and pushed them away

and said you’re free -

you’re forgiven for now
