It's the same as always...

Recently...

You lying there bare and neat...

And still...

Sadness





Days

How some slip by
smooth and moist,
like an expensive hand cream

surprises me on days like this_
as if the entire frame of space
had been mounted onto a cart

each cobblestone shudders through me.
Then rounding the bend of night too quickly, perhaps,
reality all pulled to one side,

stretched and unbalanced,
before righting itself slowly
like a giant clumsily lumbering out of bed.
