torn labels

in th wind mere
distances escape     over th lake

cutting our lovers
out of photos
and laughing
                lying
                abt where we met
                slipping inside        ( th grocery store
                on a hot saturday night

after th weekend
all of my ice cubes were    gone
                                          melted into a drink
                                          while wondering
                                          how to start again in th age of holding hands

walking to th beach
ice cream streams down tongues
and onto toes

              th heavy breathing has left
              august hot and thirsty
                                                         on a small bed next
                                                         to an open window

a reunion of telephones
rang in th   distance
                        in love w/ every step until
                                 all eventually go
                                 home to a swing
                                 in th wind

and now

I’m running around th room now
trying to confront this silence

will be back in th forest fires soon
             where every other flame
              has since gone out

               on my knees in a glacial stream
               just trying to feel how cold

shoulders kiss goodbye
in an open freezer

tried to sleep
while the darkness was still complete
but th next morning i woke up
and knew you were gone

fragments of life / possible changes

all roads etc
led to a
small town
long july      weekend
