1
We fill
time and space
trying to compress each
into something less futile
more manageable
and end up
creating an existence
that is a greater void
2
It’s just a day-
24 finite hours
1,440 small minutes
86,400 quick seconds-
It’s just a day.
Count it down,
let it rest.
It’s just a day.

Could we go, you and I
Back to the place
Where you looked me in the eye
Before we needed space
And there was no thought of time
Let’s fall into the ocean
Get carried by the waves
We’ll get lost in the motion
And forget how to behave
So in a hundred years
When we’ve gone on to the next
There will be no record of our fears
While we’re still at rest
Could we go, you and I
Back to the place
Where you looked me in the eye
Before we needed space
4
A hole
in a pair of pants
can be patched.
A hole
between two people
just rips wider.
5
There is dust on the ground
all over, brown grass trumps green
the high sun scorches desert ground
across which scuttle only creatures
that get crushed underfoot
Still some choose to settle on this border
between one place and the next
home to barons and vagabonds both
this is the end of the earth
6
Yes or no
stay or go
life’s choices
competing voices
difficult decisions
heart’s collision
7
Seven
It’s not exactly heaven
Seven
Closer to the end
Seven
8
Some say love
is inevitable
Others call it
regrettable
He says love
is unconditional
9
Sparks!
10
Go now
if you must
and explore
all that is within
but do not forget
who you are
and what you know
to be true
