    Do that thing again.
    
    You cry while I hold you,
    like the little baby I am.
    
    Don’t look now, 
    but
    
    wow,
    I’ve never fucked up
    so completely. 
    
    Oh wait, 
    yes I have.

    Should I die tonight,
    does this legacy 
    of rambling
    so easily capture as 
    the dry moans of
    midnight thunder,
    the shaken masses;
    flashing my love letters
    down deep thrombosis
    of their breaths.
    Licking clean their contented
    smiles,
    byte by byte.

    Soft Landings

    The saddest realization of all:
    that happiness does not breed
    romance. 
    Destined for solitude until 
    the need arises. 
    A meaningful day
    within a meaningless life.
    I accept your cordial invitation
    to a humble doom - 
    to always fall back in love. 
    A wolfish grin tailored by sheep. 
    
  • down

    I catch myself wanting
    
    to break this bottle
    over the teeth
    of the fence directly left -
    to sit and cry
    a little,
    but I’d just go back in
    and buy another.
    Also, I gave up crying
    for lent,
    permanently.
    Hit one on the first floor,
    because my muscle memory
    says, “down.”
    Have I really become so afraid
    of intimacy that I’d sabotage
    anything resembling
    just so I could go get let
    down.
    How that bell rings
    around my head:
    You have it in you to die,
    coward,
    but not to live.
    You’re lucky my guilt
    outweighs my disgust.
