I've
been
thinking
a
lot
about
this
prison
I'm
in
and
how
to
escape

it's
the
roses
the

smoke
rolled
past
her

i
was
determined
to
be
anxious
like
a
doris
lessing
novel
I
kept
writing
haiku
after
haiku
and
quickly
deleting
them

the
sun
in
my
mind
melted
into
something
soft
and
white
and
quite
fine

i
let
myself
feel
that
at
any
moment
i
might
burst
into
light

the 
small
winding 
road 
down 
below 
the 
dike 
where 
my 
grandmother's 
house 
stood  
I
made
love
to
the
fog
was
the
nostalgia
fell
into
their
stories

someone's
iPhone's
getting
texts
and
the
chime
is
ruining
the
music
I
wanted
to
feel
the
way
she
sings
about
the
drinking
of
black
coffee

Friday, July 24, 2015

i
felt
euphoric
like
the
world
was
me
all
of
it
was
inside
me

her
poem
snow
i
keep
thinking
about
it
and
the
way
i
feel
with
snow
the
bottom
of
my
cappuccino
sat
without
me
drinking
it
all

Wednesday, July 22, 2015

i
wish
i
could
move
away
and
not
come
back
and
not
come
back
again
the
moment
was
auspicious
propitious
but
I
felt
alone
forlorn

you 
were 
there 
two 
worlds 
collided 
and 
they 
could 
never 
tear 
us 
apart

i
need
something
to
keep
me
hanging
on
so
I
think
of
your
tanned
skin

Monday, July 20, 2015

oh
darling
do
tell
them
the
story
again
it's
one
of
my
favorites

the
way
I
think
of
it
now
isn't
the
way
I
thought
of
it
back
then

why
did
he
put
on
that
Waylon
record
did
he
want
to
break
my
heart

Thursday, July 16, 2015

if
you
woke
me
up
with
a
passionate
kiss
I
wouldn't
be
upset
she
sang

her
voice
was
epic
space
it's
strange
I
never
knew

I'm
taking
pictures

petals

oh
hello
how
are
you
it's
been
a
long
time
anything
new
with
you

Sunday, July 12, 2015

you
made
me
forget
myself
I
thought
I
was
someone
else
someone
good

- Lou Reed
I
wished
that
my
long
hair
was
longer
so
that
I
might
hide
behind
it

the
xanax
incident
where
we
took
too
many
and
slept
for
three
days

Friday, July 10, 2015

my
love
is
like
a
see
saw
baby
thank
you
for
staying
on
the
ride
the
train
slowed
and
I
knew
if
I
got
on
I
couldn't
never
get
off

you
must
be
my
muse
you're
the
only
thing
I
want
to
write
about
I
love
your
face
I
could
look
at
you
forever
and
never
get
enough


the
light
that
shines
from
your
eyes
sometimes
overwhelms
me
and
I
can't
see

made
me
feel
like
the

the
better
parts
of

a

boat
on
the
upper
bay
of
the
hudson
the
skyscrapers
behind
it's
the
roses
they
call

I
think
Jackie
O
would
love
them

why 
did 
the 
poop 
cross 
the 
road 
because 
it 
was 
inside

today
his
grey
hairs
stood
out
whispering
to
me
his
gentle
future
I
thought
about
how
I
might
hold
him
when
he
comes
home
I
miss
his
arms
by
the
sea
stars
of
your
love
reclining
on
the
heart
waves
of
your
kiss

Thursday, July 2, 2015

I
thought
I'd
remember
his
pale
skin
as
he
was
dying
but
I
don't
