open up another bottle
just let me in again
your version of the truth
a cardboard-cutout memory
a half-torn photograph
& an ever-changing dream
there’s something so familiar
about the way you talk
takes me back in time
you remind me of my mother
yeah, you’re a ceiling fan
& i’m just the same

who you are

you say you’re a broken kite
try to fly, but the wind blows
right through your bones
& it’s colder than you thought
but you keep your mouth shut
& you close your eyes
to picture what
the stained glass angel
was supposed to look like
but there was nothing there
just a glare
keep your eyes closed
it might appear
you’re your best when you’re all alone
open my hand, just so
you can give my heart back
it’s probably for the best
i’m better as a stranger
what’s strange is that
the more we speak
the less i’ll recognize myself
& the less i’ll want to know
who you are

the moon shone bright
i lay, waiting for the meteor shower
a little drunk, the snow
warmer than without the wine
the others stayed inside
convinced it wouldn’t show
& they were right
it didn’t show
though, i still didn’t
feel alone
i told myself
'it’s not too late'
knowing well that it was
though, somehow still
not disappointed
but content
with the hard mattress of snow
the impossible distance
between myself & the stars
& the cliché
that i’m so small

rumble strips

hold me to the light
switch it off, see if i shine
or lose me to the night
oh, i’ll be fine
sitting, side by side
i know our tongues get tied
tell the same story twice
i’ll act surprised
is it too late to sail
to when the rumble strips were whales
caught under the ground
& singing out
you’re lost to me
& not just me
your memory
is withering
