Vision
I see you see me
see through me
in the empty spaces where people stand
shoulder to hand and try to breathe a little more deeply
I see you see me
see you through their eyes
so I try to come down a bit and land
It’s hard not to fall for you
when I’m already halfway down
Opposition
In plenty and in want
I want to want you
near me always
But it’s so easy to forget
when you get generous
maybe I should try
to want a little less
Barbounia
Sitting at the bar and it’s a revelation
just how far we’ve come
Two glasses deep into the night
I won’t get any sleep after this
but that’s alright.
Just talking feels like opening up
old wounds that need to bleed
in order to heal.
A Six Train at Seven PM
I just passed by 100 people
or did they just pass by me?
No bother either way
the world seems silent and still
from a post-rush hour local train
It’s like everything is sliding by underwater
In slow motion each face is etched and empty
All the eyes stare out blankly
I am one of them
I am no one to them
