THE METEOROLOGIST SAYS SUN

One day, stripped of faith, I stopped waiting. 
I waved goodbye to the woman who ran
through the years, like she was always missing
a train.

Well, it was never coming. 

I would know, I built that station.
I tore up the tracks before I had the inkling to lay on them.
Or, that is to say, before they prayed for me 
in a candlelit room. A cross drawn, 
a whisper meant to save me.

We all want to hear that we’re loved. Or we could be.
But all my friends are planting gardens,
and I’m a dandelion, wishing for a breath
to carry me away.

Once, I would have begged to be buried
to bloom with the tulips. But the years are getting shorter.
I reach for the sun and wait 
for it to confirm I’m alive.

A 6 AM kiss and I’m still here. 
This morning, I believed the weather report.
I tip-toed to the edge and the blood rang in my ears.
I opened up my arms
— and the world kept spinning.

SAVOR

Better savor it, the universe whispers. 

I don’t know what. So I soak up what I can,
despite my red light chest. 

It’s hard in a time like this,
when the February fog rests over the river. 
We know the world wants to sleep. 
And so do we, but yet, we keep going. 
Isn’t it strange? 
With a vacant sky,
a taste of a blank slate, we all fall
into a haunt of our former selves,
		or our future,
but never the present. It could cause a fright.

So, we stick to the illusion. We ignore the ache
in our bones. The desire to rip out of our jackets
and let our bare skin kiss the sun.

Impatience burns me down to the flesh. 
It sees me
and all of my winter wounds.

With a soft kiss, it tosses some salt.
