in the company of aloneness

ambivalence

its beak tapping
tentatively against the window pane
the cardinal with feathers crimsoned
by the winter
breaks the hissing silence in my study
giving pause
to the still sociality of my solitude and
reminding
me that you are not here//

valentine

wearing off

no longer indelible
the ink stains of my present
still wet they start to fade
out of the tapestry
of my mind

grasping
at my lived particulars
shingles loosened by tau proteins
fragments of my recent past
sliding over the edge into oblivion
i watch them dwindle down
leaving me and my muddled smile

i see your face
my heart feels a passing warmth
my eyes view a stranger still
my lips decline to say goodbye as
you watch the slow unlinking of
my heart and mind//

sounds of silent ironies

mishaps and misalliances

one

unburied
the hurt
must have been overmuch that
you had to hang yourself
fresheting
your pain
inundated with guilt the ones
you left behind

two

beyond the besotted
muddle of intimacies and ethanol
after the flaying Santa Ana winds
of your passion falter no
longer propelling the windmills
of your errant heart
when the slow grindstones
of your mind finally catch up
in the coldness and clarity
of the break of dawn
you find yourself alone
free
finally
