let us not
get caught up
in fables
there are no rules
about how this should go
you are here.
and there is your lips
and mine
kiss me
so that I may
be in the moment
as I imagine the next one
perfect the movement
of my hands
your body
their teacher
take me
turn my faith
to religion

you, who I visit at night in bed
knowing the illusion, making you real
an illustrious past, castle in the air
that's what I need for us to be
so much more than a memory

Brown shells scatter beneath the tree,
their sharp husks split along the path,
while the empty branches hold
the weight they carried down.

Rain followed yesterday
into the quiet kitchen,
leaving gray fingerprints
across the morning.
Sunlight entered
without ceremony,
found the waiting coffee,
and somehow made
Tuesday vanquish
the gloom
before it could settle.

and blown the sky away and all the leaves away,
and the trees stand.
I think, I too, have known
Autumn too long”
