and in the stillness of the night
there comes a bumping
churning
almost pounding
knock, knock, knocking
against my skull
afloat in this mystery of matter
time, space
miles, and light years
existing for stardust
happiness eternal
our questions unanswered
and what if there was no point
what if we were just made as fodder
trees
flower food
but we can't believe that
because then there would be no reason
would there??
I asked her why she cut herself,
and she said,
"Because death has an edge
and life is pointless."
She asked that I not
write a poem
romanticizing suicide,
just a poem about
how hard it can be
to celebrate life.

Your name is as lovely
As the memories we made.
]I wrote this about an old friend of mine. She was pretty strange and maybe the right thing to think about our friendship was that it was better off this way, but for some reason I always look back at it fondly and sometimes even with a sense of yearning.
It’s time.  I’ve stared in your eyes
And I’ve seen the hurt, the pain
The sorrow.  Can I borrow your spare
Time?  This is real, girl, no game.
The windows to your soul show how
Silly young boys think girls are toys
I’ve seen the hurt, the pain the
Sorrow.  Now I want to see the joy
That smile from inside, that I
Love you when u stride, body slang
You sweet ebony thang.  But your eyes
Are diamonds exposed pieces of your brain
Poetic lies and prophetic ties got me
Calling Miss Cleo to see if you in my cards
But only the Good Lord sees what’s in
Store for beautiful Allison and Sherard
How shall we start?  First let me kiss
Your soul.  Take away the pain I’ve caused
I once was that silly, young boy thought
You was a toy.  But yo, we all got flaws.
Let’s move to a higher level of life
Beyond the meager strifes of job stress
And thoughtless actions.  A level of
Satisfaction no more questions am I askin
Besides, your eyes say yes.
