Cora Says (January)

and when my cora says
that he’s tired
that he’s weak
I sit down by his side
and plant a kiss
on his cheeks
and from these seeds they grow
wild red
wild rose red
I stand up and sing
glenn miller
or judy garland
and then he shuts his eyes
and he dreams
or at least sleeps

i could watch you skip
across the parking lot
with a stupid grin
i could lay next to you
staring at the ceiling
while you read
every night i feel
every night i feel you
i feel you disappear
sometimes i forget
i can hear the skips
everything is skips
and life begins to slow
life begins to stop
my heart threatens to stop
i see you on tv
i see you in a dream
and i see you standing here
death is not the word
there isn’t just one word
there’s more to it than that
please don’t go away
please don’t go away
please don’t go away

Moth Mask (June)
03:29

I wake up in the morning
I want the day to be over.
I see your face in the sky
and on the wings of the plover.
I haven’t been this upset
since last October
when I found out you were gone.
The last of the moths
(the ones that weren’t crushed)
have found a quiet place to die.
You wear them like a mask.
A delicate layer between the two of us.
And now you’re under water
and slowly the mask lifts.
It floats to the surface.
It begins to fall apart.
And I pick the pieces out of the tub.
And I eat every single one.

swimming on our backs
moving the water with our tails
hand in hand
holding tight to this dream like it’s real - but it’s not real
and after a long illness
my body covered in spots
my limbs falling off at the joints
and sleepless nights in humidity
I can still almost feel it in my hand
I can still almost feel my tail

Ocean Bleeds (August)

|

It’s impossible (or improbable)
that I will make it in the world - in your world.
I don’t know.
I guess I say that a lot but I don’t know.
It’s true.
I don’t know which way the sea bleeds.
I don’t know which way the tide is going.
I don’t know.

and I’ve been missing you for over a year now
where are you when I need you?
(you are by my side
your spirit is always by my side)
where was I when you needed me?
(on the other side of the country)
I hope you didn’t ask why
I hope you knew why
I wish I knew why
I wish I was there
and seriously
you are my heart now
the thoughts of you
keep things going
every second
you keep things going
the day I forget you
is the day that I die
and the day I deserve to die.
