For lee
beauty is rare
,How often do kids start piano lessons to make beauty?
How often do you flirt with someone to make beauty?
It is years of struggling with those keys
Or with that person that spark the realization that beauty
is there
Or the chance meeting
Bumping into beauty in one chord
Or one stranger.
And suddenly it’s clear that somehow
Beauty is here.

adversity
is a struggle not
your parents or spouse or kids or job or countless
other
things are only made difficult when you make them
it’s not that you should relax
fight five minutes longer
564
each keystroke
with it’s own distinct sound
is only a letter
if the playing is only
transposing symbols
the real instrument
encased not in wood
in skin
makes and plays and is played

I’m a sensualist
What could I want
Outside
Of
Cool artificial linen feel of this paper
Sliding under my palm
And this cheap ballpoint pen that will write forever
508
nature
in an illustrious instance
an ink instrument swiftly and smoothly
strikes small circles
and I writes a poem
this shit is awesome
you make poetry
so easy
507
when I fall in love
it will be never forever
as I could easily
get
back
up
but when I make
it is to create
and even destroying could never be unmaking or faking
emotional passionate sensual
substance from air
with no way ever to get up or repair

I become a poet
Knowing I can make you feel what I felt

good theology
jesus was another man
with nothing left to lose
some of us,
we find,
lose nothing so easily
another man
to lose the "jesus" for us

Me 26
love is when
absence makes me die
and I refuse to
while remains any feelings of you
and while they may become sensation
fading to déjà vu
my feelings never die
and for you
nor will I

you 15
we were together in so many…
huddled by the railroad tracks
sitting on the hard gravel under the ties
snuggling together with a 200 year old black walnut
walking along a dead tree
over a river…
or slapping mosquitoes at the reservoir
no matter where, it felt right with you
