to my life here

moving from old apt to new one in two days.
and I want to honor my life here for the past 5yrs.
if this place has a soul, if this place was flesh,
maybe it would be
I don't know
sad

that we're leaving.

so to my home now,
I hold in honor
all your creeks and pulls and push
the sounds that happen as you settle in
accepting me as a nude
accepting me as I write/create

and saying goodbye to us.

mayhem

the link between sanity and insanity is but a snap: almost like a twig beneath your shoe in november and what happens when you can't leave your home because your anger and fear keep you prisoner, and all you want to do is be loved and be good at loving and quit hating everything including the cheap folgers coffee when you really wanted the good stuff from central market or why you can't reach your mother anymore because her pain is rearing it's ugly head over the phone and your siblings don't have much to do with you anymore, why? who really knows, maybe it's because you are becoming the one thing they hate the most but you don't know what that is and in two months you'll be 36 and you still do not have children and you are in financial ruin and you don't have the one thing you really want which is that front porch swing, but first you have to have the front porch. anyway. right?

snakewalker

each day I see this guy - on my way home from work. he's this odd young man, he wears a wife-beater, long shorts, bandana, but that's not the odd thing. . . . he dons a yellow snake with faint brownish spots around his neck. a fat snake, really long too. in his right hand, a leash, attached to a pit bull. they all seem to froth at the mouth. today he looked me right in the eye, even though I'm in my car making a right hand turn as speedy as possible. and I what I want is to get rid of that image. odd huh.

Hope Chest

I always knew you would kill me holding your tremble and your water with my hands they used to be your hands, your child they used to be sweet bread and 2nd grade did you ever take notice at the old woman I was becoming did you never see the dirt under my fingernails - dug deep into the earth to find answers you held back I always knew you would kill me because I kept looking into you tilting my head into space alone with you - but you never looked back I'm still digging this time with fists aged - wicked these are my hands now.
