Leaving SuddenlyLeaving with the sun behind with a bang No creeping quietly No silently slithering Our eyes might have been closed A mourning shadow did droop that day in every room every hallway every crack in every floor board Those trees swayed like ministers of the unknown truth No body knew No body realized Raindrops fell from trembling eyeglasses over the steps taken the day before and because no steps would be taken the day after Silence sewing the lips of expression tight and scratching at bright eyes Gone again Smile for today &nbsLeaving Suddenly

Piece of Me

the line.His happiness is a suit I wear when others are looking, and so he calls me happy-go-lucky sometimes, although he has seen me cry when we are alone. We have sat on a hotel bed, the sheets twisted, the lights off but I can see the shape of his back. He has held me down because I asked him to, determination etched on his face until he saw my face when I said stop.the line.
This is how you know it's love: the recognition when you have crossed a line, and the frantic way you wish to grab
that strand of time, roll it back in your shaking hands.
