Left Me

Left me wondering about other seasons
such as sea and air squeezing into blue
the problem became real and shiny

Please I said please so wonder with me
catch the long breezes and belong to me

I Left Winter

dreaming of snow
olden days down spine
alive to nerves

I would guess
everything different
chances are

snow ripens
at night the moon
catching any

love calling so loud
my eyes so useless
freezing melting

What You Said On The Landline

Your lips moving but I could only hear catches
my brain breathing free your eyes clear
what happened before we met was it all a waste
of time like you said I cannot believe such foolishness
I think I was strung out too on the volcano the hot spot
never too far away and you within arm's reach if I do

Still Too

If you have been busy this whole weekend
blame it on the water not calling
same size all sitting in concrete
taking away electricity draining scary part
this is what pops off something else
going on I'll show you the copper pipe
next time still a leak won't stop crazy
just to install down to a mechanic
that will do it winter is taking its time

Saw Again

Saw him again this time a little grey
not as charcoal and much bigger
still he bit my hand again no manners
that's how I knew everything was the same
again and this is good because now
it is all out in the clear and open
even though I am still in the dark
still somehow looking inside asking
about time I think about time

Quitting

So what could be more difficult
than always wanting you
clover lavender all the same
bed we will some day sleep
there some day see you there

Inside my brain I command the nothing
the terrible something eating well
until full and then some

Did it leave then when free
no not at all but ran
galloping toward our hands

You Saw Him

I hope not cold enough
without running around
really disappointed right here
did you ask him what you did
wrong you guys and such a sad
face all the time actually four
blocks away the bridge the wind
all clean again from the other side

What Did King

What did I do to deserve you
King of all the Super Sundays
marvelous Monday what time
four a.m. cancelled in the courtyard
when it snows in Eugene people

this is Super Sunday ninety percent
any of it three points in the first half
the scores the Rams and their passers
the spread what it was well catching the ball
by examples of percent around and around
and around alive sleepy just tired generally
