gone like yesterday
nobody worked
harder
and
so what

every
once and awhile
a word or two
appear
then disappear
vanished
transformed into
snow

waited that winter
for news

sorrow
inside a tight dress
with heels

sharp
a butter knife
glowing
with a sun tan

skin so white
must be
eating only shadows

they were sisters
somehow
for life
as the century
turned

we are all older now
except me

i was old then

the
happiest day
of
my life

followed by
the
2nd happiest

i was
on a roll

bring me
your existential
pornography
your needles
and the quilt
you are knitting
your bottle
filled
your emptiness
or
sorrow
your happiness
and maybe
just
one tomorrow

it is the
probability
the onion
that falls between
the crack then
the tree
falls
missing you by
inches as
a tear
lands
in your glass
because you thought
that must be
impossible

alone
with
the villain

perched
on a ledge
with
make up

pretends to stumble
stabs me
in the heart
and
i get to
die

a picture to
remind you
that happened or
did not happen

rainbows and light
houses
wood everywhere
fires
cans filled with
air

they found you
under
a bridge
talking to a
peanut shell

wondered
what it was saying
why
you were listening

sister
bleed

just a picture
was that
taken
tomorrow

sister
learn

feeling your
sorrow
framed

do you
want
to grow
up
be concerned
act concerned
filled with visions
apples
tangerines
and peruvian food

i wish you were
a tree with leaves

fresh seafood as
opposed to
the other kind

armed the corn
dig a hole
get a watch
dog

she is
real
like a dream

having
never heard of
most things
a food condiment
feel like honey
mustard

what comes next
what
comes after that

get the honey

she brings me
love
and wishes
and
hate
and thoughts
impossible
to share

spoke fast without
consequence
became meaningless
cut in half

here is what
we get
start then
finish

cried like a stream
gaining momentum

here you will land
here you will take
up space
to be filled in
later

how
this life
doesn’t
work
