Five lost three,
One conditionally abandoned two.
Alone.

Blankets
Swimming in a sea of blankets
can entangle your feet
and drown your day.
AVP
Coast
Driving along the invisible coast of loneliness
he knew his bruises hid more easily at night.
AVP
Itinerant
His itinerant footprints in the sand
were swept away long before
he could even turn his head to look at them.
AVP
Space
What he heard from the touch
was the space,
in between words.
AVP
Chaos
These hands
that build tomorrows bridge
from clutter and chaos,
is a dangerous brokeness to cross.
AVP
Tasted
He held his art to feel less alone,
yet his tears still tasted the same.
AVP
Crooked
When courage wasn’t home.
he walked back down to the crooked tree
where light bows down to the night
AVP
Halos
Tripping over broken halos
he realized he was not alone
AVP
Yesterday’s
Time in yesterday’s space
reopens the healing heart today.
