mostly I never knew which way was out
once it was on, it was on and that was that

so faraway and yet so close


s.

Kiss so softly the mouths of the ones you love, 
beneath the September moon and the heavens above. 
And the world will turn without you, 
and history will soon forget about you

I saw you standing there in the supermarket
with your red dress falling, your eyes are to the ground
nothing really matters

"the carnival drums all mad in the air"




Across clinical benches with nothing to talk
Breathing tea and biscuits and the Serenity Prayer
While the bones of our child crumble like chalk
O where do we go now but nowhere

Note to self

With trembling hand I turned toward her
And pushed the hair out of her eyes
The kitten jumped back to her lap
As I sat sadly by her side

Then she drew the curtains down
And said, "When will you ever learn
That what happens there beyond the glass
Is simply none of your concern?
God has given you but one heart
You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers

And God does not care for your benevolence
Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others
Nor does he care for you to sit
At windows in judgement of the world He created
While sorrows pile up around you
Ugly, useless and over-inflated"
