seeming innocent depleted
risen and heard
left for dead among the remains
of this day
homage paid or sliding
lept into these arms
said she did yesterday
a memory i can't recall
left for decisions unclear
after so many years
looking back time
slipped away in fear
private practice in
sides evenly sliced
picked apart thinly
veiled rampant remarkable
i left this apartment in a haze
never looked back
in later days i said
remember when you
didn't leave anything in the air
timothy tom tomato paste
what random line
more remains in pictures
watery eyes
if this doesn't hit you
floor me in second gear
needles in my back
seat fleeing rockey hounds
i seem to have forgotten
this many words
fingers spread waiting
a certain nod
cocked head at angles
deeply sorrowful
for your loss
listen i can't replace
i can't walk another day
don't need space
come back to me not in fear
for this embrace.
