Two
Arguing voices
One
Crowded street
Several
Hours of disagreement

Night rode in
To empty the corner
Save for….
Two voices and
One Echo

I stroll away
My back turned
And voices argue
About you

They’ll follow me to bed
Tonight
Those two voices
One in my heart
One in my head.

May I forget

May I forget you?
Please ..
I don’t want to be reminded of the pain.
May I ...
not miss you today?
or maybe even tomorrow
I’ll think about you on Sunday perhaps ...
Yes
Sunday evening!

But today ..
may I please forget?

Coffee Breaks

I wave to you
Friend
From my street…
Across our different paths
As we walk
Absent-minded , unwaking.

I look towards the nearest
Crossroad
Hoping for you and me
Again
Sootta and tea…..

We’ll laugh just were we left off
And compare notes
On our stumblings
On our streets

Unlike You

Its like finding a shoe
In a shoe box
When you were expecting more…..

Its like waking up
In your bed
Instead of his

Its like seeing
What you hoped not to notice

Its unlike .....anything

Distraught

My soul quivers in the cold
Alone
Looking not for help
But company
Fellowship……….. Among equals
For the extraordinary
For saints among men

I fail to see , understand
or Accept
The essence of my fellow man
I fail to understand
The inadequacies of me
Of human –humanity
Of mis-matched affections
Of over paying relationships
Under fertilized Dependencies

I look not today
At your face, my friend.
I look at your knees
Because in expecting I have sinned against
Who you are

I stand alone …..now..unexpectant
My heart unable to bear
the loneliness that fills it
I cry tearless ……………..

Faye

Old bamboo

Old bamboo
Pressed into sheets
Of white
Emptiness

Waiting to be filled
Out
With words ,phrases, feelings.

On
Paper
My friend
I fill out my gratitude
For you
For us, for we.

In my place

Loneliness
Wraps its arms
around
my evening ..

My night keeps
Me
Company

My fingers
Are ring less
My feet bare

I walk right up to
The horizon
And look over the edge
Is anyone there?
