Shifted 04:05
something always shifted in the morning heat hung heavy in the sky I ask you for time I find you in the morning shadows pulled to the water eyes closed together feet touch in the water I shed skin in the water I feel warm and loved and far away we tell stories for each other a bird like silence circles us the ripples form a bubble the sun just above us enough that sweat runs off my forehead and into my mouth shadows pulled to our bodies and leaving me out there you don't see me when there are so many other people never closing their eyes always something always shifted in the morning

words passed back and forth I catch one I laugh because you laugh and throw it back he tells the story every time Jamie who I never met and it's funny how I come to care at fever pitch this is just coffee Judy won't know words passed back and forth I catch one I laugh because you laugh and throw it back and who is that standing in the corner reading who is that next to her pointing forward hands in her lap voices bubble under me only Jamie to hold onto oh Jamie somebody is clapping and I lean in closer heart still pounding from the pressure and the coffee drumming on the table door swings open letting voices out like steam look up from the corner and smile do they know about Jamie do they know about Jamie you take a phone call but where is he

When I Drive 03:37
when I drive I start at one side of the world intending to make it all the way around I travel in the dark through fields of earth turned over I don't stop to eat or drink drive into a grey green sunrise a pancake world pressed into a ball hold my breath and set the table spin three times and hope it's more than practice almost feel you lean against me skin cools with a brush of air I worry i'll be alone forever then you appear one day across the table a basket of oranges between us the writing scrawled on the wall around your head arms above my head you love me lonely I love a gray sky I wish for more where there is nothing when I drive I start at one side of the world kick up dirt sneakers fading might destroy this place too cover it with earth and make it flat so I can see into the horizon

My Vision 03:58
in my vision, porcelain snow iced over every step a clean break in my vision our shapes pulled together by shimmering space frozen we talk in crystals clear and sparse chilled i watch you too close turn on the faucet bones thawing snow blurring into water dissolve into a cloud of sweetness melting into sheets ice into water too sweet sweetness
