xerxes but not (a sonnet)
brother, thy anonymous name
selfless, selfish, (droplets falling)
run and run and run and run (droplets falling)
hang on a bit, a bitter fame
the existence of a plane
in which a house exists (droplets falling)
where the earth is steady (droplets falling)
where a man can be sane.
a home
not hurtling
just born
alone
not hurting
just morn

desert (a rondel)
come back to me
fill, rebuild an empty cup
and it is you that interrupt
why would you desire to be
any feat burdened by the sea
wind burns, and stings the lips
come back to me
fill, rebuild an empty cup
calloused by degree
cracked lines disrupt
cracked nails enough
lack taken for plenty
come back to me

not sure how to name this
you are afraid of the cliff
I am afraid of the fall
you are afraid of the silence
i am afraid of the noise of
you are afraid of death
I am afraid of missing you
you are afraid of leaving
I am afraid of not missing you
come look at the moon through the window
see it smiles with a borrowed glory
the end is not beginning to learn
how to live with a broken hand
you’re broken at the gates
and offered all you’ve ever had
on broken plates
chipped and all you’ve been sad
come look at the moon through the window
see it smiles with a borrowed glory
the end is not beginning to learn
how to live with a broken hand
see the little girl play, she sings so sweetly
watch her feet play the sand and her eyes play the melody
come look at the moon through the window
see it smiles with a borrowed glory
the end is not beginning to learn
how to live with a broken hand
