JUST ME

solitary,   being alone when surrounded,   mourning without tears,   reliving the past while believing the first words of the relationship can be repeated   remembering when pockets were full of sun and moon reflecting the glass of a calm ocean as birds swarmed overhead proving miracles did exist

NOT JUST ANYBODY

there’s an opportunity of attitude   to go the other way avoiding the lines   to immediately impose on something to believe in without striving   receiving the interest of everything your out of   becoming more than anybody not just an everybody leaving the rough road behind

WORDS

words slip through boundaries of light and shadow between fences posts past sleeping cats   words are strength from imagination fathoms   words become whispers in night   promises in morning   begging hurting believing following   into dreams yet to appear
