Birthday Poem

To you whom I see so dearly human:
may the year be good. Not good as some wish it,
each whim and fancy leaning to fulfilment,

but as the earth is, which knows so well
the rich fallen fruit, the harrowing rain,
the quiet of seeds, reaching for the sun.
 

Collisons

Collisions

amidst the weightlessness of time
the gravity of our situation is apparent.
the pain is profoundly singular— even snowflakes, suspended

in an uncontrollable descent, know

there will never be another like them.

everything is up in the air;
we are aimless asteroids in search of answers.
i try to conceal my heart
–these tongue-tied aches–
but in my mind’s eye,

they are bodies-atmospheric dancing in between the sheets,

the quickened pulse and calm serene,

like dust settling in slow-motion.

so i wake, spiral-bound:
the light should hit us any time now,
a snapshot in eternity that tells us
loneliness once cried out from the center of the universe.
