he regretted everything,
and my heart still breaks–
because now,
he regrets nothing

he regretted everything,
and my heart still breaks–
because now,
he regrets nothing

memory is fluid

awake

sometimes winter rays on the water reflect
all of what we cannot say

let your warmth
drift slowly across my
doorstep and straight into
my brittle heart

the dust motes in the afternoon light
a highlighted sentence in a tattered book
the lost button in a warm coat pocket
a reflection cast from cut crystal
the dangling string on a colorful kite

What was on my grocery list:
milk
bread
cereal
fruit
butter
vegies
dishwashing liquid
tape
batteries
What I actually bought:
milk
bread
strawberry poptarts
tangerines in a small wooden crate
2 cans of tuna and
a green candle


if autumn were a woman,
she’d wear long flowing coats
and have greying amber hair
that would billow loosly out of a worn felt hat

sometimes tears,
sometimes laughter,
and sometimes
both

oasis
opulant
organza
oak tree
orzo
opium
orchids
