typical
not easy
using words
glue
love
bullet proof
or
uneven shade

came hear
pen and paper
plug
without a socket
a
switch that
says
on

blood everywhere
blood inside you
runs the course

runs out
moved slow
goes
to fast

elation
following circumstance
followed by
life or death

hidden from you
so
go find some

did I see something
awful
remarkable
neither
both

runs out
needs
to be
replaced

and
that
happens

happy in the air
destiny or not
anyway
count to 8
repeat
get a vision

how
why
8
not enough questions
to many answers

heat is a molecule
what invented math

science does good
keep the molecules moving

here I sit
eating toast
mind full of holes

instead of leaving
stay
create something
lasting

maybe a pine tree
a shadow
maybe that power

came here
amazed and disappointed
amazed

by nature
the sound of birds
sunsets witnessed

what a gratitude
your eyes
just sitting
by your side

then we would fight
should have
just taken a walk
held hands

then we would fight
you missed boxing sparring
too

couldn’t stand that shit
got the physical
not the violence

the sound
of your flesh
felt better
as a kiss

ode to a wave
a perfect day
for surfing

was a gauge
it measured
the wind velocity

gusts hit seventy
never got old
watching

for all these reasons
you arrived

wouldn’t want
to make that trip
would not
wish it on anybody
cause I took it

on the way pray
stop the car
and pray
whisper to the darkness
pray
constantly

had four took one
then
took them all

how stupid are we
must wonder
sometimes

would use the telephone
thanks
no need
to watch you pack
finally leave
the threat being over
it has ended

piled rocks
in a line
it makes a path
to follow

home at last
finally
home at last
