    you can never
    go back
    you can always
    go back.

    i believed that when i was eighteen when
    i didn't know some flashbacks were forever
    though they never let you in

    when i didn't realize
    that even if love changes its
    face it never changes its
    name

    you can always call it by name

    when i didn't know that
    emotions could
    incinerate could
    sculpt me to my ...

  2. 9.0

    the earthquake's
    over aftershocks
    rip me

    apart sweetly
    his first kiss on my lips thirteen
    years later

    my butt still burns:
    "it's my turn now"
    screw the parents

    the last islet cell gave up
    20 years ago
    insulin keeps her alive

    pompeii's ashes have
    moved to new york

    thick black lines
    9.0 on the richter scale
    pale breathy ...

  3. hearts carved into trees

    by , 11-02-2006 at 05:41 PM (Imported Poems)
    don't want you to be
    there
    don't want you
    to see
    me peeking around from
    behind some tree

    if i listen in when
    someone's laughing
    that's my business not yours

    'cause you made me cry.

    stay away from my funeral
    stay away from my life
    they're one and the same
    it's all love and strife.

    don't want you to be there
    don't want you to see
    if i ever ...

  4. how to lose a friend

    when did you start when did we
    stop
    now you preface every description
    of a run-in at
    the mall at the bus
    stop (in your mind)
    with
    "i'm not being racist
    don't they know better
    their blood my gloves i savedtheday"
    it's been forever
    since this phone was
    blind
    you say it's just a
    description but i miss
    hearing about people
    their dreams and joys,
    your daughters; ...

  5. faith and begora

    4:30 a.m. Saturday.

    "Your brother was 14 today."
    "Oh no."
    "Don't worry about it; he had to remind your mom; you're fine."
    Could? I be more sleepy. We rambled on: classes next week, child support hearings. The noises of settling in, turning over, rearranging pillows. A shadowy black image, wrought with multitudinous curves. In the center, a shapely blank.
    "You're the missing piece of my puzzle," I pronounced, ...
