To Love, to Be Loved
To love, to be loved. Love is kind. Love is supportive. Love is caring. Love is honest. Love is faithful. Love is patient. Love is reassuring. Love is not easy, but love will continue to love even when love is most difficult. Love knows the difference between a mistake and a choice. Love is gentle. Love is committed. Love is happiness. Love needs time to itself sometimes. Love needs space to breathe. Love needs love to accept this. Love will accept this. Love is appreciative. Love is understanding. Love will hold you. Love will keep you warm. Love is the sun that shines through the curtains of the morning when you wake up having finally slept through an entire night. Love is that simplicity.

On Leaving Home
memories glide through mind space,feelings resurface in the heart, andrapture happens each time you see a stain. The home cooked meals, prepared by a queen,are tasted with new relish; the best meals I’ve ever had.sour bile rises after I’m done — I become bulimic,anorexic to small degrees, preparing my body forinevitable emptiness. I gain 10 pounds. I feel sick about this.maybe it’s the beer I drink every night —I don’t remember a night I haven’t drank in the last month.This is troubling; how will I manage when I’m alone?will I drink till I vomit; will Idiscover sobriety away from familial pressureswill i cry in the night because it’s too hard to get up each morningI’m prepared to live a minimalist lifestyle, preparedto go vegan, or maybe just vegetarianprepared to share a single room with another man (neither homosexual) and read at a table without having to get up out offear of beingseen each time someone returns home.
