the tides are closing in
the moon is just in reach
the grass seems taller

she's tripping
it's a whirlwind
sunsets in the sky tonight

Whenever
You deal with emotional people

Deal with yourself

The sun travels
in light circles

sometimes
it brings you along

and sometimes
it eats you alive.

There have been

seventy six million
nine hundred forty two thousand
three hundred and fifty one poems

about falling asleep
next to someone you love

that was a lie, of course
but by God is it ever wonderful.

Seventy six million
nine hundred forty two thousand
three hundred and fifty two.

We let it
get too easy

to slip and fall
into the sun.

The mind is clay
but body and feelings
are the many, many layers
you must be careful not to break
on the way to soothe and mold the mind.

I've loved more girls that I've never known than girls that I have known.
