for Tressia
I left today or did I? I kept telling myself that I was going home so I could be alone

Children swing north to south on grey rusted chains - red to them. Seasons move,
We slept within the same sphere captured happily under morning’s dew. As children
Sitting on silent drift the ocean beside me. Wrestling waters paint the shore as the brush
Come with me and I will paddle us across the south side of heaven. I’ll spread out a handful of stars
You smell of incense and fire. I breathe you in. Consumed – I burn in your presenc… I have found ecstasy In the darkness
At night I’d sit at my window and watch sidewalk strangers passing in the illumination of moon and streetlight
A sight this winter beach all white and desolate. I guess even the sea

I have searched and searched for someone... I’d buy roses just like my father bought my mother
If the sands of time that I have spent in tears were poured on me I would be crushed in a single moment.
I have not seen of gods only men lying on their backs in the dust and children
So many lost among battlefields and blood spills Letters written and never sent.
As I sit and watch the moonlight vibrate on the horizon tossed from wave to wave a tear drops down my cheek.
