I come back to wonder where you are
Why you’re lying
Where you fell
Gather pieces up and lay
Them out in line, lastly laying
Down myself
I don’t know which of us
Has less time left
to wait for you
When we both have nothing else
Nothing left but time
And nothing else to do
The moon is in me now,
the vault is purple
Blaze of orange in the rear-view
“Find no policemen there”*
Intoned in trio, humming soft
So that I hear you
If you should murmur of
Some disturbance
Else I’ll let you sleep a while
While you’re finished testing me
Restless angel
Unfit to drive another mile
I used to notice things sometimes
Things I didn’t like,
More than things I do,
I guess that’s why I left
Why I’m always only
Passing through
Head light watching hands
Passing through me
Grasping to be held
It’s something to behold
Rushing past the
solder where we meld
I can’t believe my foolishness
But I swear I
Felt so lucky for your love
And now that bitterness is gone
What remains along-
side the knowledge of
Our deepest differences
All that which,
condemning us to misalign
Leaves me to treasure every time
I held out something
That held your eye
*”Hobo’s Lullaby” (Woody Guthrie)

She cut one of her nails short for me last night
We almost didn’t make it to her flight
I cried and sang and yelled out at the highway home
I’ve been down this road before but never this alone
Oh I don’t even know my rising sign
But do you wanna know what I had in mind
For after the last of the pink and the orange is gone
Waiting for wax to drip from the candle like Sandalphon
I don’t wanna trust him but I do
I don’t wanna find out just what he can do
Don’t wanna let her in the maze in which we live
leave well enough alone and just lie with her a bit
“My heart aches. My eyes ache.
Tears come to my eyes.
My ears and my gut ache
In the name of all women,”* in the name of a friend
“In my own name!”, like leaves in the fall wind
Or Like a ladder from heaven, Oh let me descend
We weren’t sent into this world for this misery
To submit our reports and submit to the forces of history
Or were we? No, surely -
She hacked off the rest of her claws today
Too bad I’m two thousand miles away
I put my hand in his and watched the fields eat the sky
Held my fear til I felt it flicker and die
Remember, that sunbeam
With the hurtling force of an imperial tonne
Like a kiss from, all the lips of
Every angel in heaven somehow pressed into one
Oh I don’t even know what I had in mind
But do you think we should find out my rising sign
*A Lesbian Chronicle In Medieval Quebec, Jovette Marchessault, 1979

she said...
I feel like I tore my
heart out, I look back and
curse my every step
But even hiding in the bracken
pierced by thorns and underslept
I was always recklessly waiting
for something else to come along
I wrote a song for Willow,
because i love her
and i wanted her to know
you said she got my message
but i still haven't heard
How she liked my song
She said
I’ve made some new friends who are different
And my new room is bigger,
and looks out at the tracks
said I feel like I'm looking
outside of a box
a box i've been inside
inside for so long
she said
i know you must have followed
things that happened here this year
there are things I want to tell you
that I don't want them to hear want no one to hear
i feel like starting over
but then i start to think
About what mightwill come along
I said...
I’ve always avoided
listening to the stars
but I know that Saturn's watching us
watching from afar
Cassiel, observer
never interfering
with what comes along
