Noose

Could I not follow?
And if I could not,
Would that be shallow?

One phrase, a simple breeze
‘Twas all I wanted,
Between the trees.

Yet every open hand
Is measured for a blade;
Every silence made to stand—
Proof of something I made.

I grow tired of explaining
What love is not to me,
As though affection, unrestraining,
Must conceal duplicity.

Every word, a trial,
Each kindness, accused.
Every act, a file.
And somehow, everything, excused.

All the evening asked of me
Was only stillness, only air.
I had it once, between the trees.
I cannot find, no more.

Could I not follow?
And if I could not,
Could I swallow?

Sesor

Wisdom alone, or foolish together?
A simple blunder, setting the tone.

Where is the sun in the night sky?
Where is the flower in the dark?

Take a walk with me and bloom and grow—
It is meant to be.

Yet, Not Yet

Yet, Not Yet

No fruit out of season—
Just that it was no season.

Taste the winter red
And the summer gray.

Am I out of season?
Or is it yet the season?

Is there a season?
And yet, I am, today.

The Way

I plead,
Weigh not my heart,
With lil’ rest and help nought,
I plead again, weigh not, my heart.
Weigh not..
