TypicalMy coffee is now syrup,Typical
aged rings on paper. I sit here, working indefinitely. Like one without a purpose or a prose to write. Sometimes, you ask me what I'm thinking, and I lay silent. Knowing that if I give you the answer of "Nothing."-the typical man. That is exactly it. Nothing. . .
I yearn to use your skin as a blanket for my hollows.
I'm comparing that heart beating in your cage to a fluttering bird.
I'm getting lost in your eyes. And noticing how one is slightly bigger than the other. It's endearing.
Really.
I. . .


EvolvingHere is a poem to tell of change and paint you a picture.Evolving
without colorful words or imagery.
Change will come in evolution. Evolution will come when my hands sprout wings.
and my confined, black and white words can free themselves of pages.


Where islove found?Where is
is it found in the ever consuming thoughts?
the aching backs that come with pending babies?
the nights where you can't sleep a wink?
the screams and shouts of drunks washing the past away?
the sweaters knit with tired hands?
the voices that screech Micheal Bolton in the shower-Whennnn a mannnn loves a womannnnn ! is it the spontaneously staged kisses in the rain?
does it blossom best in spring?
is it found in starving for approval?
how about the impending moments of stopped time?
is it the yearning and laughter we see in theatres?

TwoI try and cover you up. With things from my dreams, like a blanket of warm snow.Two
I try to hide you in curves.
Two.
The cages of two.
I wonder often if you remember the winter snow and how untouched it looked in my backyard-until that is, you stumbled unto me with your bloodied jacket.
I'm trying to describe you, but I can't. I can't.
You were something of a satanic safe haven for me.
Two.
The souls of two.
I wonder if you remember the conversations on faith, on love-hush, hush there's no such thing Strumming on your strings, you sang to my body more than anything. &nb

for HalloweenFor Halloween, I'm going to be married. I'll slip on a ninety-nine cent diamond ring and notice how pretty my left hand can look. I'll put a bandaid around the bottom of the ring to make it fit better instead of getting it sized because my husband and I are still a bit tight on money. I'll put my left hand over my stomach andfor Halloween
for Halloween, I'm going to be pregnant. I won't know the sex of the baby because we
want it to be a surprise. Have you seen Abigail? She's toddling around and being watched by all our family that's visiting us for the holiday. She's dressed
