An Ode to the City Bus

before i could walk, you carried me

you rocked me through traffic like a cradle, your arms have always felt safe

I have been on many a subway, streetcar, skytrain,

but none can compare to you

you hold me tightly, as if I am a doll in your dollhouse, until I reach my little doll destination, and go about my little doll life

and when I am through with all my little doll errands, I slide back into your familiar seats and allow you to cart me home, watching familiar scenes roll by as if this is a movie I know by heart

headlights flicker past like fireflies through your screens and i count them one by one

when we arrive at my stop, I call my thanks to the driver and navigate the small streets of my neighborhood home, knowing you will be there again every 30 minutes or so between the hours of 6:30a.m. and 10p.m.if I need you

just as you have always been

Normal is a memory

Normal is a memory, but time moves so slow, so much like it always has, that no one notices.

No one notices that we don't talk about jam anymore, or how beautiful your dress is.

Because have you seen the news? There are war crimes, beloved.

Your dress? The price of weeks of food thirty years ago

And it tastes like small hands working sowing machines.

The jam? No one has time for home mades anymore, my dear. There are tears to be swallowed.

I wonder if there ever was a normalcy, with Sunday brunches and sadness, not depression. Or if it was always a memory.

Always just a few generations out of our reach.

See, I was wrong.

We do notice.

The Circle (english Version)

One more time I take back my notebooks my fountain pen & I immerse myself in this story Lots of blood... Many tears... Sweat again & again All three were the first offerings Added now Inks... on me... in me & smiles Desire & attraction intertwined Life & creation blended Reality & imagination fused Energy breathed in will re-emerge In a new form full of life One more time I will tell Stories Feelings Legends to come A hidden love story Music & a rhythm to drive you One more time I hope my words find you

Reflecting on rejection over the whole weekend.

I never took it well.

You never took it seriously.

A decade later we are strangers again.

And being heart-broken hurts so much no author could ever describe.

Too old for this.

Just saying.

Untitled Rain Poem

these are the days

that poetry writes best

stormy Friday, you

bring the jump walks

around puddles

and second cup blues

but I don’t have time

for that now

this heavy traffic

made me late for my shift

the rain returned

with cold intentions

30 Day Poem Challenge, Day 9

The grass was

A little too long

And wet with dew.

It tickled the knobs of my ankles

The backs of my heel

As we ambled along;

The sun still rising,

The air, warm and thick

Smelling slightly of

Weed, or maybe skunk?

I wouldn't say

It was quiet

There were people talking in the shade

Of one of the lots (I'm guessing that's

Where the smell's coming from),

The distant sound of cars

Encircled us.

But it was

Peaceful.

I felt my shoulders

Drop,

And I breathed.

This isn't so bad.

Lamp Light

The waves rippled on the city streets The droplets hung in the search light.

And the endless dance Happens within the Symphonies Light.

I'm an intern and my job is to enter addresses from hand-written letters into the database and did you know that Joshua Neumann from Hermannstreet 4, Cologne, has a life too

Oh

He's a principal in a small town. I googled it.

A mid-50s couple donated 100 dollars to our cause and I said that's very generous of you and he shrugged and said is it really

Oh

I guess it isn't really. Not for us.

When I came back after New Year the woman I've been working a lot with saw me in the office kitchen and hugged me.

I googled a scrawled address to decipher it and the town was so pretty I'm going to go there on a day trip with some friends. By train. Like we did 2 years ago.

You know what I'm saying, you know it.

The time that shapes.

The time that forms.

The time that changes.

The time that allows the loss.

The time without you.

The cruel time.
