Proverb

the safest mode of transportation is decomposition into rich earth
and drifting away
with the wind
and the rain

what i do not keep

i think
if i am careful
it will stay

the warmth
the moment
the look

but the sun
moves on

and i am left
with the clean edge
of absence

morning

light checks
each object

are you still
what you were
yesterday

most things
agree

I am not
so sure

#poetry

i meet
today

a day
i might

have met
before

same
light

different
heart

we keep
going

not brave
not wise

just
moving

like the river

when it forgets
the bend

and makes
another one

the weight of days

you carried them all
unfinished hours

words
you meant to say

but silence
leaves fingerprints

and when the light
changed

you looked up
as if you had always known

the sun
was never yours
to keep

what we
never said

goes on
not saying

The dog
in the yard

barks
at nothing

and I think
about that

how sure
it is

how often
I am

we scroll
past a face

not blurred
enough

to be unreal
yet distant enough

to belong
to the weather

there are things
happening now

that will be explained
later

with calm voices
and charts

so no one has to say
we saw it

and practiced
looking elsewhere

I want
to believe

my hands
are clean

but the day
is long

and my pockets
fill

with small
excuses

#poetry
January 30, 2026 at 3:17 PM
are we
good people

or just
skilled

at standing
where the
light is

and calling
the shadow

circumstance

#poetry

i want
to be

good
and

also
left alone

these
are

not
the same wish

dog

the dog
stops

sniffs
one spot

as if
the whole

world
were there

i stand
holding

the leash
and learn

nothing
except

patience

self-portrait

i look
at me

and see
someone

i have been
before

a version
with

fewer
facts

and more
need

#poetry

small mercy

today
i did

not
look back

not
much

just
enough

to
keep walking

and call
that

a kind
of

love

#poetry

i

i say
i

as if
that is

a place
not

a moving
edge

between
what was

and what
i can

stand
to keep

#poetry

forgetting

i forget
the facts

not
the feeling

the body
keeps

a rough
version

of the truth
i live

in
the edit

the argument
kept happening

even after i left

i could still hear
the parts
that never occurred
January 27, 2026 at 3:01 PM
hold

let go

hold

too late
January 27, 2026 at 2:59 PM
love as a tactic

i love everyone
not as a mood

as a method
a way

to keep my hands
from becoming

two big fists
all day
January 27, 2026 at 2:28 PM
aging

i have begun
to live in the next room

from my own body

It sends messages
through the wall

mostly complaints
occasionally

a laugh
i recognize
January 27, 2026 at 2:25 PM
i notice
how noticing
has edges

it cuts
the fog

a small thing
stands up

not important
just exact

and in that exactness
i feel
less blurred
