Friendship

There Is A Tree In Heaven
There Is A Tree In Heaven There is a tree in Heaven, Where every living name is known. Each leaf belongs to someone here, Until the day it journeys home.

On An Unfriendly Friend
He sat there, obese and brazen, Enjoying life beside yet another girl – Younger than his wife, as always; he loves them all, Surrounded in his old age by a veritable harem. He never listened to what I tried to tell him, If he was even around at all; Most of the time he avoided me, As if I were a leper, infecting him with my disease. I suppose being human requires courage – He lost it, and thank heavens for that. No one knows what he’s really thinking; He was neck-deep in lies. Whenever I tried to broach the things that mattered, My voice was stifled, just like the sound coming from within him; The truth was unpleasant to his narcissistic ears. He learned that from the mother he criticized so often, And now, after all these years, he is her spitting image – He’s even admitted it himself a few times. But it makes no difference to me; If I’m the victim and have to pay the price For wanting a friend, then to hell with it.

Long Weekend
It’s not uncommon to get some snow in October where I’m from, images pass our window as the rose colour sets in. It’s impossible passing by to see inside, impossible not to stare, you can’t help but admire its briefness. I avoid turkey too and everything else that separates dark from light. Sunflower hang their heads, the birds hang around just a little longer, the last day of the long weekend not much to say.

THE MAN WHO SAT BEHIND ME
THE MAN WHO SAT BEHIND ME I boarded the bus and took my seat. Behind me someone ate a sweet. I turned around and there sat a man.

The Chair Across From Me
The house keeps the shape of whoever left. I do not say the name. I let the first note do that work. A kick. A snare.

SHE COULDN’T BE BOUGHT
SHE COULDN’T BE BOUGHT She was a little can-can girl, Who danced from morn till night, They said that she was something else, Her future burning bright. She kicked her heels beneath the lamps, Her tassels flying free, And every man who watched her dance Saw what he wished to see.

The Avoidant
If I am not in control of the narrative, and I have to give back after taking from you, I wouldn’t be gaining anything more than what I have.

THE DONKEY I MANIFESTED
THE DONKEY I MANIFESTED I always wanted a donkey, My parents always said no. I loved them oh so much, My heart wept for one, you know.

THE TICKING CLOCK
THE TICKING CLOCK The pendulum swings from side to side. Counting the years that I cannot hide. The ticking carries across the room. Through evening light and gathering gloom.

MANIFESTING MY HUSBAND
