In the End
I carried the shape you traced,
a vessel cut to your measure,
but the grain ran otherwise—
knots where you wanted polish,
splinters where you asked for sheen.
I bent, yes,
but the bend was fracture,
and the fracture... [read more] |

It’s been eighteen weeks and two days,
and I still think of you the same way.
Nothing has really changed —
I still look at the sky and wonder if you see it too.

is enough... [read more] |
