because the story must be told
you wanted me
I am here
I am not in the form that you asked for
but I am here
I am me
They only want to stroke you
so that
you will stroke them back
I want to read you my heart, and
see you nod
and smile and say–
yeah, I get that
Some days that is us, then
other days it is like
sulfur in the water, and
who would blame you
for tossing off the bitterness
Not even me, but
I know you are not keeping your word
but I think you mean to
When times get hard
I wander,
and forget-
that’s where you
will find me
somewhere where
it is green and shady
and no one wants
a piece of me
I know what is inside you
for the time
you let your guard down
and fell asleep
I played with your hair
and listened to your dreams
Does anyone know how to make that window stop popping up in this box, the one in which we type our post? I am working on several posts at once and I can’t get it to stop popping up every time I open a new post.
I know it sounds small. But truly, I never want to hear the words ‘block editor’ ever again.
Also that line of doodads that covers up the title or sometimes the first line whilst I am working. I wish that could go bye bye too.
If anyone knows how, I’ll be your best friend.
the colors bleed
from our summer
into a slurry
of tender epithets
I stroll through–
tell me your story
while there is still time
Are You Thrilled
