		<description><![CDATA[to tell a lie
to tell the truth
is to let you die
between tongue and tooth
to walk away
the tide will rise
to tie you down
to hear your cries
to deny you love
though it&#8217;s due
is to kill you now
to tell the truth
so i walk away
hard as stone
to let you die
and live alone
yes i&#8217;ll walk away
as fools may do

		<title>A Drawbridge, A Deep Deep Moat, And No More.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[or maybe I can
climb a castle
a tall stony
haven with a
history of
prevention
and tall tall
lookouts where
I can see danger
from days away.
yes. a castle with
a deep deep moat
that no one person
can cross save
maybe a boat
and I will quiver
my sharp sharp arrows
and raise my flag high
very high.
a drawbridge, a deep deep moat, and no more.

		<title>Yesterday. Because Of Too Much.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m tempted to pancakestack
my fears into nothing.
nothing. where we won&#8217;t
see them and nobody will
know. nobody.
where I don&#8217;t have to answer
you and I don&#8217;t have to deal
with him and all the
quicktriggered onlookers.
it is simple for them.
it is always so simple
and it always will be.
But I will give of myself
no more.
I will take my fears,
each one, a [...]]]></description>

she pulled your arm
I drink more
my lonliness crawls up my spine
through my stomach and clutches
my heart
I have to sit down
lean back
how does it come so naturally
to so many?
does it really
work that way?
with 33 years of history
I can&#8217;t understand that it ever will
thirty three years
working against me
and I can&#8217;t imagine that it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear God, I Am Tired Of This Journey. Amen.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[i give my heart to ghosts
mostly.
and butterflies.
the kind that flutter near
and lick the salt
from my skin
breathe in my ear
then
flutter away
to be carried by
whatever strong wind
may come
tonight i plan
to sit on my hot
Texas porch
with a stick of butter
hoping that
love will flutter
have you ever been

		<title>Then Before And Again, Journaling 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t always been here, in this lonely state of sordid affairs. These walls were not always this close. This light, so intrusive. There was a time when my youth and zeal was enough. When it swelled above the dawn of my heart’s reservoir. Spilling, flooding, drowning. With love and hope. Who was I then? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pink Toes Atop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[what a lovely dream
you must be
to walk along
on such lovely feet
to call these yours
repeat repeat!
pink toes atop
these lonely streets
O what lovely gems!
my child, my heir
may I wash them now
with love with care
what lonely feet
repeat, despair
but what lovely gems
you have right here
surely you know
how wonderful you are
pink toes atop
a heart of scars
pink toes atop
these lovely feet

		<title>Like I&#8217;m Speaking A Different Language</title>
		<description><![CDATA[pain is as marrow
and suffering, a symphony in warm up
the artist does well
to listen
and respond with hope
Sing from your soul, child!
For that is where your
loss and desolation reside
and death makes for
hopeful soil

		<title>Even In The Unimaginable Places</title>
		<description><![CDATA[awake with agitation, my heart
feels
like the rain on my window.
if only my arms were longer.
if only my time was like the clouds.
i would be with you
to hold you
and to listen to your story
and to help in everyway imaginable.
but my hands are here
tied to another log
and saw i must.
but as soon as Love will allow
to you [...]]]></description>

the more
i can&#8217;t understand
why it is
that i still
feel the way i do
love and lust
it&#8217;s hard to choose
in regards to you
and what&#8217;s the difference
and important to lose
so i&#8217;ll tell you a story of a boy and a girl
and how when she smiled it lit up his world
and for him it was easy [...]]]></description>

		<title>So Rare, The Words I Seldom Hear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[he did it again
as i brushed my
teeth
with a simple question.
he put his
hand on my chest
he raised his arms
in prayer he told me a secret
after he told me of salvation.
uncomfortable
with my hand on the bathroom door
with my feet on fire
he touched my chest
he embraced me
like a father.
tears.
he embraced me and
told me he&#8217;d come find me.

		<title>Because We&#8217;re Children With Questions As Passports</title>
		<description><![CDATA[hostility rises in me
when you speak
and i&#8217;m left&#8230;
i guess what i have
are all questions
and no answers
and what a place
to be
i wonder
where I&#8217;m going
or what is my tether
for inclimate and whether
and i&#8217;m left&#8230;
i guess.
where are the fathers
the foundations
the fearless court?

		<title>To Think Of What Is In Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[i feel heavy today
heavy in the heart
heavy as a whole
and heavy in parts
it&#8217;s of loneliness
I think
but I know
that&#8217;s not right
it&#8217;s of longing
and abandonment
howling in the night
it calls me to crave
a destination place
a destination fate
still
foreign to the face
to a place that has
no memory of me known
where my nowhere thoughts
can feel right at home

		<title>Stay For Now, Stay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[the ship diminishes
into the sunshine
diminishes
into the horizon
that longstretching line
that makes its mark between
dreams and the day
while i stay
hugging a ticktocking bouy
with that in-the-middle-of-nowhere
feeling giving rise
i&#8217;m starting to pray
to god, i pray
watching my dreams sail away
and he says, always,
what i need him to say
