poem

 Poem #17


My poems have too many trees without leaves

Like I live in a suspended place

Where it’s always autumn,

Not completely dead but never in bloom.


These poems are too much 

Like day after blizzard slush.

No longer a powdery snow

And the last thing to slake my thirst


Here’s a meal when you already ate.

Here’s a warm coat when the fire’s been lit.

My halfway love is an incomplete verse;

A dollar short and half a day too late.
