Pieces

Broken pieces shattered,

From the stained glass masterpiece we once were.

The smallest piece resting where we owe our meeting,

Hundreds of others wandering past.

Two others hidden away at a gem of the East side,

Sparkling in the cosmic light of our hide away.

Several tucked into the cushions of your couch,

Lost in the comfort of your presence, I envy them.

Most left in between the sheets of my lonely slumber,

Sharp edges tear into the thick layer of denial.

My favorite piece left behind in your bed,

Sleeping beneath the pillows remembering the nights.

The final pieces within ourselves,

Intertwined and connecting us.

I once wanted my pieces returned,

But instead a new masterpiece has been created.

I’ll place my final piece within,

The center of new art owed to you.

My Never Ending Nightmare

The Feeding

A dusty fan circulated across the room from one end to the other. It’s been a while since Augustus put it to use, so he couldn’t blame the junk for its inability to remember its single duty. Arkansas hasn’t had a summer night like this since he was a child. He lay in his damp […]

A Butterfly’s Compass

A Compass paces in a chameleon depth,deep in a struggling cocoon,where its North is mercurial,and its fixation evolving in each flash.Reborn in each coordinate,it lacks a magnetic field. The needle twists and heaves,astray by its own stunted growth. The Compass is yet lost, curious,Why so gloomy, Butterfly? Wasn’t this cocoon your obsession? The metamorphosis not […]

I Was Lying in the Sun

  I was lying in the sun, Near juniper shrubs and storybook villas. Not enough profit and pleasure in the telling of, The tapping of a cigarette, The brush of bare knees, A long draught of wine, Closing the shutters on balconies, With blinds made of lace at Angel’s Bay. Red watermelon hues. I’ve read […]
