FUNGAL JUNGUS
cutting my way
through the fungal jungus
the dismay wears holes
into my cardigan
and the cardinals
hawk their belongings
for the fields
we never get lost
when we’re diving at heels
and this way is the way
that my soul says to go
and this way is the way
that you’re flying as well
so it seems
midst the cotton stuffy things
the allergies and climate change
that everything will
be just fine
in time, in time
with you
THE TYPO
it was a typo
I thought you wrote:
In every way. I’m in.
and I felt
the feeling of a
genuine smile
sneaking over me
In every way. I’m in.
that means everything
every flaw
every strange family dynamic
every ugliness and sure,
all the beautiful parts as well
and
i tingled in my skin
as my fingers tapped out notes
on the piano
still busying themselves
while my eyelids twitched into a fit
of love
then
i saw it was a typo
and for a moment
i got sad
it would have been
such a wonderful thing
to have been said
but then
i thought; has he not
shown me this is how he feels
every single day?
he’s said it in every
interaction with me
every gesture, every word
even the accented impressions
and silly bits and jokes
he’s told me
he’s IN
and the phrasing of it
hardly matters
at all
READY
I am
so ready
to start
loving
you
I feel like
I’ve been preparing
for this
my entire
life
I have
so much
love
to give
so many
ideas
for ways to
show you
i have
so many
places to go
with you
so many
experiences to
break in
with you
my
greatest
creation,
my most proud
artwork,
will be
the love
i pour into
us
JUST BEFORE THE CLAIR DE LUNE
shhh, don’t wake up!
I’m just writing to say
there were moments there
just before the Clair de Lune &
Moonlight Sonata played
where I was just enjoying
your company, getting more and more
acquainted with your face
and then our friends Debussy
and Beethoven via Henry Mancini
came to join our evening
to score the “the story of us”
and our exterior dialogue paused
as a dance began between our eyes
and you know that when the song goes like so,
you feel it like this, and you know that
when the song goes like so, I also feel it like this
it was like a thousand tiny spontaneous combustions
were accompanying the music
combustions of laughter and stoic, overwhelming fits
of fighting back tears
because when the song goes like this, you know my heart goes like that,
and when your eyes go like this, you know my heart goes like that,
and when you smile in that way with such comfort and love you know,
you must know by now, that inside warm love fills in my chest
i want to jump into the screen and swim in your eyes
never to leave or be forced to part again
this moment is a perfect one
and no matter what happens next or where the road goes
it will forever exist in memory
perfect as is
