The Blood of Poets

Life happens slowly 

then quickly 

in the eye 

of a hurricane 


everything is silent 

and still 

on the outside 

destruction rages 


things change 

we recover 

we rediscover 

ourselves  


we’re overtaken 

slowly but surely 

by the ghost of 

everything else


You saved my life 

without you 

I would’ve died 


a long lonely death 

over a lifetime 

of tiny regrets

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months
