The Haze
I imagine living in the haze
Between waking and dreaming--
The soft noise on the telephone
Just before she speaks
The blank paper beneath the last words of a book
The snow visible by streetlamps
The world sleeping under the cosmic shroud
Where starlight leaks

The Roaring Rain Outside
the
roaring rain
outside--
the distant duckpond
gloom
the
angry clouds
sit low
inexorable--
blue.

The Movies
your friends go to the movies and don't invite you
and you've never kissed a girl
never gone to a party
or drank beer
and you begin to wonder
why you lie awake
awash in hopes and dreams
when you could simply disappear

Walking Backwards
We don't walk backwards
Except through time
The future is a hill we climb
blind

Drinking In October
It occurred to me
While drinking one night in October--
Sometimes I am happy
And sometimes I am sober

Ill Desire
I am made of ill desire
As the sun is made of fire
And the flames are getting higher
One day I will burn

Some Call It Depression
Some call it 'depression' but
It doesn't help to name it;
I always knew I had it
But at some point I became it

Going
You are going soon
Going far away
Your bags are in the car
Your plane leaves at dawn
But you tell me 'don't be sad'
You are still here today
And that's the thing about going--
It means you're not yet gone

Once I Had a Frog
Once I had a frog
Whom I accidentally dropped
And to this very day
I don't know where the hell he hopped

The Nomad
I met a man once
Who lived out in nowhere
He had two horses and a dog
And a rifle and a tent
But not much else
I asked him,
'Where is your home?'
And he answered,
'Home is wherever the sun goes down'

In the Same Way
In the same way
That falling is not flying
Life is not living--
It is dying
