My sleep all last night
was peace, bliss, floating, dreamless. 
Everything I wanted.
We talked in the
kitchen. The children played in their
room. We were mothers.

I feel like the Soup
Nazi tonight. Like, "GET OUT! 
NO HAIKU FOR YOU!!"

Wednesday, January 29, 2014

The dreams from last night
will follow me today like
ghosts around my house.
That tricky witch. If
I could know what she knows I 
might be tricky, too.

I could see him wanting 
to say something to her, 
but he held it back.
Time's they are changin'
and if you can't keep up then 
we'll change without you.
Sometimes I watch the 
cat and I'm fairly certain 
she thinks I'm crazy.

You watch your friend
make the most wretched decision
they could ever make.
Sometimes the small 
sacrifices now lead to big 
successes later.

She watched the smoke 
leave her lips and became 
invisible like the air.
winter's 
arms 
wrapped 
me 
up 
the 
sun 
was 
above 
us 
very 
far 
away
The intensity's 
too great. I want to get away,
but I just can't.

"It is so dark..., so 
dark, it is as if darkness 
where the shape of cold."
                                  -The Golden Notebook
"She said, Kick out your 
motor and drive while you're still
alive. Kick it out!"
                                          -Heart
The sky meets the land 
and the land meets the sea and
the sea meets the sky.

I will be your 
little devil if you will be 
my little angel.

Thursday, January 23, 2014

She said, I dreamt of 
you last night. He said, I just
love your dreams, my sweet.
You have to look at
it and choose to move right through 
the saddest sadness.
I'm so depressed 
today I can't write so I choose
to write depressed.
I don't want to know 
what you're doing. It reminds
me of what I'm not.

Wednesday, January 22, 2014

I have the blues bad, 
Daddy-O. And not the pink 
and green sparkly kind.
She was under
completely. It happened so slow 
that no one noticed.

Tuesday, January 21, 2014

We only hate the
trash talkin' when it ain't us 
who be doin' it.
A love so intense
it would make even Morticia 
and Gomez blush.

Monday, January 20, 2014

You came behind me 
to smell my hair and I leaned 
in to feel your breath.
A story 'bout a 
woman, a man, an umbrella 
and a cafe.
I want you more than
I've ever wanted you and 
that'll be true again.

Sunday, January 19, 2014

She talked and talked not
knowing what she would say 
next until she said it.

Saturday, January 18, 2014

I thought of them. I 
don't know why. After having
not for so, so long.

Friday, January 17, 2014

I use your old 
t-shirt to blow my nose when I'm
sick, 'cause I love you.
He talked of doves
flying and hearts on the brink. I 
wanted to hear more.

Wednesday, January 15, 2014

I ran away and 
then came back again and I 
ran away again.

Tuesday, January 14, 2014

The hills were one 
color, the sky another and 
the water one more. 
I want something 
sordid to come of it. I want 
them to fall apart.

Monday, January 13, 2014

I don't need you to 
poison me. I can pick my 
own poison, thank you.
Those weren't the days. These
are the days now. These days are
what's ahead of me.
There's no plateau in 
this world as pretty as the 
top of that mountain.

Sunday, January 12, 2014

I walked through the dark 
worlds of rats and gators and 
wolves and now I'm here.
She leaves her sparkles
behind her so that you'll follow 
and meet her there.

Saturday, January 11, 2014

I wanna go back,
way back, to that house in 
1987. 
Some people think there's 
too many love songs in the 
world. I think there's not.

Friday, January 10, 2014

I wanna do 
everything. Every single thing
for the rest of my life.

Thursday, January 9, 2014

I love dreaming that
dream where we're falling in love 
all over again. 

Wednesday, January 8, 2014

I felt eyes upon
my back. I shivered, turned.
It was just the cat.
I'm not sure who I 
was or who I am, but I 
miss that girl a lot.

"Ain't nothin' gonna
break my stride. Ain't nobody 
gonna slow me down."

She wanted him so 
much that she would not rest
until she had him.
We inspire each 
other. We feed on the creative
light that we share.

Sunday, January 5, 2014

They looked so sad at 
each other, but their arms said
quite another thing.
Facebook is just a 
silly video game. Don't 
get mad when you lose. 

Saturday, January 4, 2014

I don't wanna talk
about me anymore. Let's 
talk about you now.

Friday, January 3, 2014

When I dream of my 
childhood home I dream of it 
different than it was.

Wednesday, January 1, 2014

I wrote a song
about a song and a poem
about a poem.
The Spirits of 
Christmas past, present, and future are
beside me tonight.
I look at my hands and 
I see my mother's. Then I 
see grams', forever.
"For auld lang syne, my
jo, for auld lang syne, we'll tak
a cup o' kindness yet..."
