We All Feel Lonely Like Night
Countertops like held hands
support slowly separated spaces
pulling away from unkept passion
your lips speak loves last grace
Has desire ever been so elusive?
she dances in my fireplace
she drips from my shower-head
only to fall into ashes
and retreat from my lonesome bed
her touch like moments past
is color fading from my face
what once was there is gone
moving farther
from the home i must dwell
Decorations cover
the hole in my wall
filled with hollow expectations
the furniture like pressed bodies
warms icy abandonment
my floor is our humanity
and my countertops
our innocent attempt at nirvana
