i think, together,
our devotion to health
vitality for life
creative mindfulness
avoidance of 9 to 5
and agreement to
never have kids,
you and i
will be young
forever!

miss him so

i need to get out of here.
it's too hard to be independent
when everything around me
makes me miss him so

cry baby

(not exactly a poem)

i cry so much more than i used to.
but it doesn't feel like more work
than when i didn't cry.
it actually feels much, much
better. like instead of holding things back
all the time
i'm just letting them out
as soon as they upset me.
and every time i cry
it feels
so
good.

you each time

"the answer to each moment must be yes
and the question 'can you live with that' becomes the test
so you weigh it against that aching in your chest
and that secretly relentless emptiness"

nervous laugh
06/07/2009 02:49 a.m.
like my father
i think
i'm pretty great.
i've got good things to say
(get out of my way)
i think i can do it all, and if you're not
prepared to watch
then prepare to deal with me.
like my father
i'm not afraid of you.

but
like my father
when things get
to a special point of discomfort
i get this
painfully embarrassing
nervous laugh

valerie
06/02/2009 02:48 p.m.
last night i had a dream i gave birth to a baby girl
that i named valerie.
she was part me
part him
and parts all her own.
so much light
shined from her eyes
that she had a glow.
i know it was a dream
but i could feel
her presence.
valerie
is real.
she's just waiting
until it's time.

my companion
05/18/2009 12:52 a.m.
my companion.
i admire him;
his talent, his diligence, his eloquence
and his unbelievable humility.
he knows just what to say
to assure me
and just where to put his arm
to make me feel safe.
he hears what i say
on every level it's intended.
he appreciates my talents
and accepts my quirks.
i can talk in depth about the most profound
sociological or psychological phenomenons
that fascinate me
or simply about
how much i love that rock song.
and he gets it.

even when we see things
from different angles,
it's simply maintaining the balance.

he is irreplaceable.
the only thing
i'd ever make him promise
is that
he won't go anywhere.
