haunting
timeless words
~
we’re sleepwalking
in loveless union
touching each other
radiating illusions
~
I’m a silent sigh
penetrating imaginary boundaries
~
~
we all fear
becoming
what we fear
~
vulnerable
~
trust
our ignorance
in love
~
be still
keep dancing
life will not always
make sense
~
learn to love
our contradictions
we’re nothing
we’re everything
~
find comfort
in doubt
sometimes
it’s the only light
we’ll ever have
~

postpartum

~
I held our newborn
watching you
~
surrendering, she asked,
“what’s this all about?
closed my eyes, sighed,
“become comfortable in doubt.”

tubes, machines
fast-forward-etch-a-sketches
seismographic skyscrapers
~
so hard
to talk
much easier in code
