MONDAYMONDAY.
i met him today.
i met you today-
the boy that will change my life.
TUESDAYTUESDAY.
my feet sink in this blindingly white carpet.
there is a trail of yellow flower petals winding it's way across the floor.
i would follow it, but i'm not sure what's at the end.
i throw away my nerves and thoughts and slowly step along the path.
it's you: you're the end.
WEDNESDAYWEDNESDAY.
I lay in the dark and wait for the part that you sing to me. When I called you my little songbird, you grinned boyishly and gave me a half hearted shove that caused me to laugh until I fell to the floor, holding my sides. You held my hands like we were playing london bridge and told me that this was f o r e v e r .
THURSDAYTHURSDAY.
You pushed me into the pool, but I held your sleeve, causing you to tumble in after me. We laughed and tried to keep our heads above the surface. [You cannot float when you are dragging eachother down.] We floated perfectly. my.life.is.perfect.
FRIDAYSATURDAY.
I don't know what made him so sad,
but as he hung up the phone and turned around,
I could see his eyes were blank with shock and rapidly forming tears.
all he said was that he needed to "get out of here for a few seconds"
before he quietly shut the door.
he comes back with the stale smell of alcohol sometime early morning
and when i see his resigned look, i have a feeling that he won't ever be the same.
ever.
WENESDAYWEDNESDAY.
we trace our way through lemon trees and breathe in scents like a drug.
i think this will help clear your head and take your hand off the bottle.
but no,
you're too far gone.
"Hey treefall, you're landing will not be graceful."
THURSDAYTHURSDAY.
"we can't float at all, anymore."
FRIDAYFRIDAY.
the droning of the airplane outside my window.
a sound that i sing to, a distraction that makes me concentrate, harder and harder.
I stare up at you with eyes that should walk right through that haze.
"God. Baby, when you open your bleary eyes, someday you'll have regrets."
Focus. Focus on me. Focus on what I'm saying.
Please.
SUNDAYSUNDAY.
Today I stood next to my lover who was passed out cold
and thought about the carnival just last Sunday, where we rode on the ferris wheel
and kissed in the sunshine.
i continue to long for the sunshine.

Literature
Suicide in Slow Motion
My hands are made
are made
are made
of paperweights,
with fingers filled with ink
to convey my stream of consciousness,
and on my breast you'll find
you'll find
you'll find
ten thousand anvils
crushing my lungs into arsenic powder
before my screams betray the broken poet.
My somber [sober] blue eyes are speaking
are speaking
are speaking
Literature
Racing the Sun
Hooves rattle a line towards the sunset,
Sweeping the sound of rain along the way,
Damp sweat glows a sickly orange warning:
The race is to begin.
Teeth snap shut on the bit,
Neck stretched hoping to swallow the hazy globe before
It sinks like bait,
Leaving ripples in the sky, Casting long
shadows back as taunts.
Night folds the rider into a satin box,
Packed to deliver,
And stars wink impudently through the folds of clouds.
The cold forces the dark ride onward,
Pushing through the lingering
Steam rising to blinker false suns.
Hidden deep in the sky below earth,
A switch turns the race on the rider;
Still pressing onwar
Literature
bus
dust animals
loll and swirl against
fake forest leather
peering
(around sable beaststrands,
sun-sullied to pyrite)
at a garbled missive
scratched and misconstrued,
its stories unvoiced-
"warm is uncomfortable;
cold is far worse."
