I am slowly sinking

into

the side of the sofa

that sighs, and sags

on the left, from the heft,

of my burden, internal;

My heart holds heavy,

and my lungs are tired.

The load,

from my shoulders,

so weighted, it’s a wonder,

I stand upright, still,

but the couch has begun

to cave, and this;

The only external sign

of any weakness.

Devotion

You have pushed me Kicking and screaming Into rooms I thought Would kill me You never let go of My hand

You have held me Through the depths Of my anguish As I cried I am alone You reminded me I Never was

You kept belief in My determination When I thought it Lost in nightmares You revealed it had Always been near

You wouldn’t ask For thanks only My happiness So just know Each smile, laugh Is devoted to you

the one of brass filled with rainwater from those days we used to walk through summer rain and autumn leaves it always reminds me of that

that plastic one filled with the sand under my house it smells of salt of wind, of sea the freedom i had living on the beach

the wooden bucket filled with stuff i wrote, all the stories shared all the songs composed by my shaky hands

It was Saturday,

I think,

and the rain was coming down

in drops, then sheets,

that I lay underneath

for 14 hours, or more,

until-

washed-out, and

washed away-

the rain had stopped,

and I was awake,

and it was time to have

something

to eat.

It was extraordinary, bizarre, mystical, magical, enchanting, it was loved. But them it became. Chaotic, dark, blurred, abstract, ordinary. It was nothing more but the love that faded.
