my body aches
subtle and dull
I want my lover
to rest my cheek
on her chest
to feel her warmth
Poetry
I’m working on writing a thousand poems. I started in April 2015.

money
cuddles
handiwork
Poem #365
there’s hope!
wait, nope.
Poem #364
wind whipping
noise like water
waves in her ears
loose bits of hair
in front of her eyes
in the corners of her mouth
high up
she’s exhilarated
not a death wish
she’s alive now
Poem #363
tinny metal clinks
a silvery flash
large bay window
outside greenery
a stuffed rabbit
a stuffed cat
quiet peace
a life imagined
future ghosts
walk through
this big house
Poem #362
be careful
don’t touch her butt
she hisses
Poem #361
skin against fur
I’m cuddling her
house doesn’t stir
just me and her
Poem #360
brown-haired girl
comes home
to a house she sits
she sees
the familiar red dots
she is watched
the cat meows for food
she obliges
the evening passes slowly
little house noises
keep her company
she lies in bed
she cannot sleep
a light in the yard
she stays still
the feeling of hands
on her shoulders
on her legs
she cannot move
on her throat
she cannot breathe
the house remains
she is not there
Poem #359
back here again
just one year
but a world away
Poem #358
tip toe across the floor
slide into bed
roll around
sleep
