No map

spent years deciding to come out of hiding
with no map to find the desire i'd been denying
felt the ground sighing as quiet ghosts built up beside me
with no map to find an escape from their haunting
you knew me
several shedded selves ago
i still see him sometimes
smudged in journal pages back at home
steady my breathing
focused inward, i wait for the evening
stacking firewood nightly in hopes of a stove burning brightly
your stillness holds me
i know that my ghosts will outgrow me
focused inward, it burns for me only
most things stay inside you
without a lesson you can hold
a longing calls out softly
only i can hear it though
tend the fire
watch the flame and keep us warm
feel the smoke fill my eyes
shed some light before you go

Your bridge

brought you a gun to shoot me with
held in your palm, short and thin
held perfectly still, bit my lip
praying you wouldn't miss
you called out to me from deep in my chest
a part of myself i can't access
the worst our pain
we've not felt yet
i'll never be ready but i keep looking in
pretend like you know me, i go limp
invitation to join
watch from within
waited to long to tell you this
but i felt the weight of being your bridge

Friday evenings
08:05
|
|
||
heard a song from my youth coming from an unknown building
squatted down and wondered
if they danced inside like we did friday evenings
i kept walking in search of a night as colorless as the ones you sang about
they kept dancing in praise of a god
the vengeful one who scattered us
now hear my dance of pacing in the attic
as we wonder
what god would allow this?
